Mr Hudson & The Library
Absolutely ruddy brilliant!
My favourite album of the year, and live were all that I hoped they would be.
The venue was KOKO which is a great old-school theatre style place. Really suited to the scale and intimacy of the set.
A mashup of lounge jazz and hip-hop (with some steel-band thrown in the mix) what could be a self-concious mish-mash comes across as vital and pretty cool. Posh boy Ben Hudson has the charisma and musical chops to carry off his slightly magpie musical vision.
In his mind, Ben Hudson is Dre producing Bowie, but he’s more like Cole Porter remixed by Mike Skinner, or Chet Baker haunting the grooves of Sway. #
Stand out tracks: Upon the heath, On the streets where you live, Ask the DJ
