You probably remember him from Matumbi, among others 🙂

Here’s Bovell with an old Matumbi song

'thread swerve'

Yep Matumbi and he did stuff with LKJ as I recall, and added a bit of culture to some of the post punk peeps !

At the risk of another thread swerve!.. Dennis B worked with Fela Kuti at one point....back in about 83 we were mad on Fela Kuti and had him on all the time..( The band we had did a few tracks with horns and were very much influenced by him, to say the least !! )

Here's a classic Fela Kuti track, if you'll forgive the "swerve" 👍
