As a passionate supporter of world music, I was very disappointed with this event.
The opening act Asim Gorashi was amazing as usual and performed to a very high standard.
Rachid Taha unfortunately appeared to be unwell or intoxicated during the show, with the quality of his performance deteriorating as the evening went on. On a number of occasions, he had to read his songs from a book brought on stage by stage assistant. His band did extremely well in keeping the show going- not so however the leading star of the show, who by his poor performance showed no respect for the audience - expecially the younger members of the audience who should not had to view such a spectacle.
