‘Inspiration Information’ a great name to describe the excellent collaboration projects that the recently revived Strut Records are releasing (#1 Amp Fiddler/Sly & Robbie, #2 Horace Andy/Ashlee Beedle) with #3 being another true gem ! Ethiopia’s maestro Mulatu Astatke together with The Heliocentrics (Stones Throw) is a wonder of classic & the new and in celebration of the forthcoming release they will do a full live show at London’s Koko on May 20th. Tickets have just gone on sale and if in any doubt catch a peek from their phenomenal ‘Broadcasting’ coming together last year – believe me I was there ! A fitting 2nd show in the GP Worlwide 10 year long celebration.
