Glastonbury 2008 Day 3-Recap
» ‎ Read entry @ Aworan's Ak-isms & Pixs..

Thus concludes another year at Glastonbury, and may I just say that had it rained all over the weekend, it would have been the last Glastonbury for me. Then again, they’d probably have been famous last words. Right now, I am tired and have to get myself sorted out. However, on the 3rd day at Glastonbury [...]

Glastonbury 2008 Day 2 -Recap
» ‎ Read entry @ Aworan's Ak-isms & Pixs..

Yesterday was the 2nd day of Glastonbury 2008, and let me introduce you for a second to the world of the Press tent. The way the photographers and the journalists interact is amazing. It all starts with how early you manage to snag a spare area to work over the weekend. It’s a [...]

Glastonbury Day 1 -Recap
» ‎ Read entry @ Aworan's Ak-isms & Pixs..

Well, yesterday was Day 1 of Glastonbury 2008, and let’s face it, it was always going to be a mud-fest. True to tradition, it’s been slosh and more slosh. I overheard one of the production guys saying that he’d been here for more than a week earlier and ended up having a sun [...]

Morning, Pilgrims. Just making final preparations for 4 days of music and hectic work at Glastonbury 2008. Despite the forecast of rain, I think it’s going to be a good year. So, before I leave and keep you posted about the trials of Glastonbury, here’s a couple of pictures taken at the Primal Fear/MC5 gig at [...]

Linguistic Conundrum & George Clinton/Terry Callier Meltdown Weekend…

Here’s a riddle for Yoruba people out there: what is the translation for the word, ‘automatic‘? Granted, the concept of automatic is not in our vocabulary, but if we could come up with a term for the internet as ‘Alantakun ti a mo si web’, (please forgive me if the spelling is wrong!) then I’m [...]

Tube SNAFU & Alanis Morissette at Brixton Academy.
» ‎ Read entry @ Aworan's Ak-isms & Pixs..

If ever there was an instance that I had a pure !@**&*&&*&*$$*!!^! situation, it was yesterday evening, compliments of ye faithful London Underground. I was dashing from one job to another that was taking place in Brixton, and the journey was going a-ok, with me thinking I had about 40 minutes to spare. That [...]

“Bo! It’s Kreg Day-vid” : Craig David & Mamas Gun Live Pictures.
» ‎ Read entry @ Aworan's Ak-isms & Pixs..

If there is one question that I would like to have answered, it’s this: Did Craig David have Leigh Francis, creator of Cult TV Show, Bo’Selecta!, on the guest list for his performance last night at Sheperd’s Bush Empire? (In case you have no idea of the connection or what I’m on about, click [...]

Elbow & Fleet Foxes: Highlight pictures & a crazy anger moment!
» ‎ Read entry @ Aworan's Ak-isms & Pixs..

On my way to a gig, and I find myself overhearing a conversation. The dude on the phone was speaking in a Scottish/Irish hybrid dialect which I just couldn’t decipher. One thing was for sure: he was absolutely livid. At first, the guy tried to be reasonable. He then paused and tried to [...]

R.I.P, Esbjorn Svensson…
» ‎ Read entry @ Aworan's Ak-isms & Pixs..

I just found out that the Swedish pianist, Esbjorn Svensson, has died in a scuba diving accident. I had heard of his music and group, E.S.T, through friends, and I finally got to hear them live at the Barbican last year. He will be sorely missed. E.S.T performing at The Barbican in March, 2008: Esbjörn Svensson (piano), Dan [...]

‘Still Black Still Proud’-Highlight pictures from the Barbican
» ‎ Read entry @ Aworan's Ak-isms & Pixs..

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I am blessed in doing what I do. I really am. Sure, the freelancing may not give me the financial riches that I’d like to have yet, (“all in due time, Ak!!”) but I’m tanked up on the richness of the diverse musical pedigree that [...]
