Pigstock 2011 - Magwere
Gem Saloon, Saturday 28th May 2:50pm
Tweet: Mag-nifique. We’re all off to get some ketchup now.
What Happened?: An essential of the festival experience is the something you wouldn’t normally listen to - usually a bit of gospel or soul or ska. Here its some afro-beat-jazz-funk-reggae putting us all in a good mood, with bouncy numbers like ‘Tomato Sauce’.
Silk Purse: Chilled, but toe-tapping at the same team, their change of pace from the rest of the festival draws in a crowd, but its songs with competing drummers, risque banter and old-fashioned call and response that keep us all there.
Sow’s Ear: That it took so long for the crowd to get there. And that once the place did seem to be going nicely the set finished. We needed at least a couple more tracks of us all bouncing around.
Pigstock Rating: 8/10
