savwar Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 MULATU is coming. One of the only people i've been really dying to see again. First time was brilliant. http://www.songkick.com/artists/61746-mulatu-astatke/calendar Dublin will definitely sell out quick.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsT7dY65-Vo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Nice! Do you know if he's bringing a band or if the Heliocentrics are on this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savwar Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Nice! Do you know if he's bringing a band or if the Heliocentrics are on this one? I was wondering that too. No Idea. I'll ask the promoter here. Seems from his facebook page that he's been playing with the "Steps Ahead Band" which could be that future-Jazz route Steps were talking about for their comeback Certainly dressed the part 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Ha! I just got 30 seconds into writing a reply before I realised that is actually Steps and not his band Mulatu is a legend regardless, but he is a band leader and vibes player (bearing in mind vibes don't feature heavily on a lot of his classic stuff). So for me the band he's with makes a big difference. Predictably, the Heliocentrics nailed some of those classics as pretty much no other band today could and although I've only heard a bit of him with other bands, as good as they were, they weren't really doing it for like Catto et al.

Yeah the Heliocentrics were amazing. I haven't checked any recent clips, But i did see this in the comments of a guardian review from Feb....
