I’m always going to see African bands, what always struck me is how many different websites and social media platforms I have to visit to know who’s playing or to even discover a new and exciting band or the latest release.
Chatting to other music fans at gigs it was obvious they had the same thoughts that African music is quite fragmented in the UK and it needed a place for it all to live.
