Yeah, it was nice to hear her sign as she doesn't on the album, and
she does have a terrific voice. As I expected she was able to totally
mesmerise the audience (me included) with her wonderfully descriptive
words and actions, which added a great deal to the meaning of her
poems.
We were a bit disappointed that Africa Bambatta didn't show,
apparantly he's done that before (cancelled at the last minute I mean)

Sounds a bit like Maxwell to me, who has cancelled many a show across the UK, so
I hear. In Scotland, I hear he actually had everyone waiting for him to come on,
and didn't bother at the last minute.
