Lady Saw delivers in a bigger night two of Music Festival
SKNVibes.com – Jun 23, 2007
When she sang popular tunes such as “Chat to me Back” and “My Crew” she really demonstrated that she was still on top of the dance hall ladder. Lady Saw was not just a singer she was an entertainer and she pushed just the right buttons to carry the audience to the peaks of hype but at the same time she was able to convince her fans and others that nothing is wrong with the more “liberal” Lady Saw. Then the ambassadors for reggae music Steel Pulse came on stage and even those who didn’t know how to skank had to improvise and groove to the message riddled tunes. They gave almost two hours of hits after conscious hits. Kitts Music Festival.
Hyde Park Calling 2007 – Saturday
Virtual Festivals – Jun 23, 2007
nce again Hyde Park plays host to another weekend of superb music albeit a rockier collection of artists when compared to the previous weekend’s 2 Wireless Festival. Gone are the glow sticks and iPods to be replaced by the tape recorders and leather jackets of a more mature audience. With The Who – headliners on the opening day last year – having been promoted to the closing act at Glastonbury it is down to legendary svengali and ex-Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel to headline Saturday at Hyde Park Calling. Gabriel is the genius behind the LSD-inspired acrobat extravaganza that wowed audiences for a year in the Millennium Dome so his performance should be a good’un… That’s not to say they aren’t any good it’s just that the festival toilets could do with some – clearly they forgot to re-stock after Wireless. The Thirst a Brixton-based reggae-rock combo are the first act on stage and deliver a show that is raw and full of energy. Comparisons to Bloc Party are inevitable but unfair and The Thirst are a decent outfit that deserves much interest. Forever Like Red in comparison are a standard pub band with a strong line in cheesy choruses and predictable lyrics. Their tunes are mostly clichéd ‘Forever Like Red’ is a gentle ballad that is an amalgamation of every slow guitar-based number of the last five years. ‘Breakdown’ is another down tempo song.

Pop cds of the week
Telegraph.co.uk – Jun 23, 2007
99 Andrea Corr Ten Feet High Atlantic £12. 99 Twenty years on the name Sinéad ‘Connor is still synonymous with a time when Irish music bred a rag-taggle brigade of mavericks and gobshites railing against the misty-eyed conservatism and Catholicism of the likes of Dana and Daniel ‘Donnell. ‘Connor’s personal life and proclamations remain incendiary in her home country but it’s a long time since her music set the world alight. Theology sees her return to songwriting after a well-received foray into reggae covers and comes in two versions – one stripped-down acoustic and one with full-gloss production. ‘Connor’s voice is still a thing of wonder undiminished in its incredible emotional scale. But just five minutes of her chanting strange religious metaphors even more so without the cheesy synths is like being trapped in a very long church service. Ironically Dana and Daniel might love it.
