Just got back from Rise at Finsbury Park. This, remember was the free anti-racist festival that Boris wouldn't allow to be anti-racist anymore. Thankfully I didn't witness any incidents of racism, but if I had, would they have been reprimanded? I'm not sure.
CSS were pretty sexy, and thankfully they didn't go into any more of the financial dirty-laundering rants they seem to have taken to lately. Also, Lovefoxxx wore a very cool yellow and black stripey catsuit.
But the day belonged to Jimmy Cliff. Okay, so it wasn't quite as brilliantly life affirming as Eddy Grant at Glastonbury, but still pretty wonderful world, beautiful people sorta 'vibe'. And the true presence of a legend that, somehow, felt more exciting than it woulda been to watch REM at T.
Although they probably didn't get the sound cut mid-song because the program was running late. We can only imagine he was going to finish with 'The Harder They Come' if he'd got the chance, so here it is.
Or 'I Can See Clearly Now', tho he might have played that. I can't remember.
