Went to Bristol on Friday to perform at the after-show party for the private view of Banksy’s new show. We tried out a new performance style which is being called ‘Africa Express Soundsystem’.

Africa Express is Damon Albarn’s project where he gets African musicians to collaborate with western artists in a non-patronising way. I first took part in their event at Glastonbury in 2007 when I got to play one of my all time favourite songs ‘A Message To You’ with 2 of The Specials (terry and lynval, the first time they’d played together in 20 years!).

The idea behind Africa Express Soundsystem is to get African and western musicians and DJs to jam together in more of a club setting. We’re doing it at Glasto this year in the middle of the Saturday night in Shangri La.
In Bristol we had Shy FX, MoDJ, Sam Duckworth (getcape), Bashy, Miss Dynamite, VV Brown and some others all jamming together. YAY!
