Ben Harper

Last Wednesday night, Clare and I went on a hot date to see Ben Harper play at the Enmore theatre. It was excellent.

I've seen him twice now - the first was last year at the Entertainment Centre. This time round though, I was around 80m closer, enjoying every centimeter! What an awesome venue to watch live music!

How do I describe the concert? Well, how do you describe the man?? It was a mix of Carribean Marley-esque flow, raw funky bass, African percussion and a mix of impromptu unamplified free song. A bit like a pavlova really. A bit of an eclectic combination - sugar and eggwhite - but ultimately a tasty treat that still leaves you with a golden yolk to enjoy the next morning.

The crowd goes nuts over 'With my own two hands'.

A quieter moment in the concert. Thanks to Jesus the lighting guy.

Gives you a good indication of how close we were! And also of the 6"4' bevan standing in front of us.
