BASKETMOUTH & FRIENDS LIVE AT THE APOLLO

 

It's better late than never at all. We were live at Basketmouth and friends comedy showcase a few weeks ago at the HMV Apollo and we can say this for all to hear and know, that Bright Okpocha and crew delivered again on every level, humour unlimited, entertainment par excellence and crowd came and had value for money. 

It was a jam packed hall, men these guys are making money ooooo, and in hard currency at that. We cannot forget to mention that Okey Bakassi is one of the most intelligent comedians we have ever come across, if for nothing we think he deserves a GCON, his delivery, the punchlines and gesticulations are second to none, also we believe Buchi is the most improved comedian we have ever come across in a long while, there is this effortless grace about him, that's unbelievable. Brymo the star has really come into his own, he got the hall dancing like there's no tomorrow to his melodious tunes, he had a commendable performance. We saw many we know who don't live in London, from Birmingham, Manchester etc they all came to laugh and laugh and many left carrying their tummies in their hands. We have a few pictures of the out and about at the event and also some of the performances for your viewing pleasure. Check ‘em out.

Enjoy!

D BANJ LOCKS DOWN LONDON

Let's not lie ooooo, we were one of those that was skeptical about this concert. One of the major reasons for that skepticism was that on the same day as the D banj and Friends HMV Apollo lock down was the Africa Unplugged concert, which boasted of some very big names in the music industry-such as Femi Anikulapo Kuti, Tuface Idibia, Iyanya and other heavyweights from other parts of Africa. It was the evening of the Annual Notting Hill Carnival and a day after the P Square London Invasion. So we had thought, the organizers didn't plan well, doing 2 massive concerts on the same date. But alas we were wrong. D banj is D banj any-day. 

A pointer to the fact that D bANJ was going to shock everyone, was the feelers we were getting from some of the people we spoke to prior to the show, who told us categorically that D banj has his own crowd of loyalists who no matter what would throng his show. And true to their words, the venue- HMV Apollo, on Bank Holiday, Monday, August 27, 2012 was filled to capacity. The concert was sold out, packed out and according to many who were there ''it was good money well spent'' '' a totally fantastic time'' etc. He was very well supported by Ikechukwu, Naeto C, K Switch and others. 

Not to lie, D Banj is an entertainer extraordinaire.

According to BHM-

D'Banj's debut UK headline show was excitedly received by a rapturous audience.

Thrilling the audience with a rich repertoire of songs  spanning  his over seven year career, 

D’banj once again woos his audience with sweet ease, showing why, in such a short time, he has become one of Africa’s greatest music ambassadors.
