SGP2011

Check out my Saturday afternoon set at Secret Garden Party. The Valley Of The Antics stage hosted me and Angry Sam last year and were good enough to have us back to open the show this year. Big up Theo for hooking us up.

My stand out performances of the weekend were:

Blondie's flawless vocals

The Resonators Sunday morning set

Stanton Warriors dutty DJ set

Switch & Khalil @ Wormfood on Saturday night

and much, much more.

SGP may be less of a secret than a few years ago but it's still a hell of a good festival. Can't wait for next year!!

curious & Angry Sam in today's Guardian...

It is only a couple of weeks since myself and Angry Sam hosted The Guardian for a school poetry slam. Following slam conventions, the poets performed poems from the Year 9 anthology for the judgement of an audience of 300 teenagers. Blake and Wordsworth battled it out with Kate Tempest and Linton Kwesi Johnson; with Kwesi taking top honours!! There was also a performance from a year 9 student who won the school's London Poetry competition with a poignant and image-laden piece of highly-crafted writing. One for the future, surely!

--> Big thanks to Judy and Richard from The Guradian for supporting this event and producing this article.

Is it really 30 years since the Brixton riots?!

Wow!! Thirty years since the Brixton riots. That's mad, but yet, here we go again with another Tory government bringing civil unrest to our streets! Watch, learn, use!! Props to Kwesi for shining a light of truth through the ideological fog! DJ Hiatus kills the track also, but it is Kwesi's voice that rules the most on this!! Play, repeat, download!!
