From first song to last, Michael Franti and Spearhead were just terriffic. Playing a wide variety of songs, Franti had the whole place captivated. Getting into the crowd (including upstairs where we were) Franti proved that he is not averse to mixing with the fans, and MF and band members also came out to be with the crowd at the end of the gig too. MF is a real trooper. I went with a friend who hadn't even heard of Franti before 930AM on the morning of the gig, and he was totally blown away by it. "I'm off to order some of his records" was the response when I asked my friend if he had enjoyed the evening!
Koko - A fabulous venue, curteous staff, and great sound. Well done.
The only thing that could be a more fun gig would be this lot and Manu Chao's band on the same bill.....
Can't wait to see Michael Franti again.
