Greenbelt meeting last night ........ clashing with the gig of the year. So I had to slide away from the GB drinks to go and Koko .....
Last year Charlie and me went to the Gilles Peterson World Wide Awards at Cargo in East London. Last night it was at KOKO in Camden Town - used to be called Camden Palace.

Fat Freddy's Drop roll out some great grooves ......... and they were on stage before the awards which will be broadcast on the next two Sunday nights - 11pm Radio One.
The evening was blasted after that by the big band called 'Soil and Pimp Sessions' ...... strange name but aren't they all?
