Neneh & Andrea in London last week Via + One of the greatest live bands. So many memories...solo Springer performance in York Cathedral, bunny hopping in a van being driven by Neneh around a Manchester car park, the night of the souped up speedy brain cells at the Primatarium in Kings X. The late and very lamented Sean Oliver (and our endless conversation about which jazz album was the best: he went for 'A Love Supreme' while I could never get past 'Spiritual Unity'...just wish that I still had all those live recordings I made of them. Oh well! If you don't know them go out and buy the remastered and expanded editions of their three albums out now.
