The Necks – The Barbican Theatre
By Ash in live
I went to see Australian ‘jazz’ trio, The Necks on Saturday night. It was, without doubt, one of the greatest live performances I’ve ever seen. For a trio equipped with traditional acoustic instruments normally associated with jazz, they produced some of the most inspiring and intoxicating music I’d ever heard in a live environment. Not only that – but they made it up as they went along. For a detailed review, check out the report on Mapsadaisical’s site or this one by Adam Wood.
Such is the irony, that the people that call themselves ‘music fans’ and went along to the 40th anniversary of the Glastonbury Festival Of Contemporary Performing Arts and completely missed this should be kicking their sunburned arses for the remainder of the year.

Broken Bells – Royal Festival Hall
By Ash in live
On the final night of the Meltdown Festival (curated by Richard Thompson), Broken Bells make their European live debut. A giant screen dominates the stage at the Royal Festival Hall: a screen that will host flickering abstract images of warm technicolour magically rendered to look like nostalgic footage captured in the late ‘60s on Super 8.

Konono No.1 – Assume Crash Position
By Ash in Music Reviews
As the World Cup shines its bright, burning light down on Africa, football frenzy grips the planet in a clutch of patriotism, casual racism and animated passion. It also means that suddenly, everything is themed ‘African’. Yes, with ‘African style’ barbeque packs on sale at butchers, Vuvuzelas widely available on the streets of South West London, and African music blaring out of Starbuck’s coffee shops across the land – all eyes are gazing upon this vast continent enveloped by a media frenzy that focuses on the struggle and plight of the sporting nations and people of South Africa.
