Worldwide Awards 2010 London














A brilliant night at Islington with GP , his fans and the usual suspects line up:Mulatu, Lee Fields, Andreya Triana accompanied by Fink and Bonobo, El Michels Affair, Floating Points, d.o.p, Theophilus, Nailah and others, plus the sounds of djs including Lefto, darkstar and Gilles himself! Missed the Floating Points ensemble who kicked off the live shows (doors opened at 7) but I was there for Lady Drey who opened with the "keeper" and finished with "lost where I belong", the first single from her debut album. Simply mesmerizing...
Then awards and award winners, among them Mulatu (shame he didnt play), Robert Glasper and Sam Shepherd (aka Floating Points).
Robert Glasper (super cool) followed on stage and then the energy bomb called Theophilus London! Top moment for me was, however, what came next.... ta-dah: the mighty Lee Fields with el Michels Affair and the Expressions. Money is king, Ladies, Honey Dove...so tight, so strong, so emotional.
Dubstep orgy for the end, not my cup of tea :) Anyone stayed until 4? Thank u gp, see u all in Sete in July...
