Not arrogant enough to suggest that I could do the music or live show of Dub Colossus any justice (I’m also dodging Jury Service), I will instead direct you towards the words and work of a Mr Robin Denselow as he describes the rise and rise of our Dub heroes at Camden’s Dingwalls on July 8th:
“Could they sound as good playing live? Indeed they could, especially when so many of London’s Ethiopian community turned out to transform Dingwalls into a seething African dance hall.”

I will however say that as a fan of EP1, EP2 and the long-playing ‘A Town Called Addis’ I wasn’t at all disappointed with the live transformation of so many of my studio favourites. I had a really great evening at probably the most lively and diverse London gig I’ve ever had the pleasure of attending. I also got very sweaty – and nabbed a t-shirt.
Their spot at Womad should be something very special.
