Kora Friday 31st The Bedford Christchurch

I went wish great enthusiasm, looking forward to a great night of Reggae, Drum and Bass and was both disappointed and somewhat pleasantly surprised with what Kora served up. I enjoyed (mostly) Francis and Brad Kora on drums and bass. They were tight and at times hypnotic. Listening to Laughton Kora sing on their album I was looking forward to that. Unfortunately, even though I was in front of the sound desk, it was difficult to hear the vocals. I wonder what the engineer was listening to? I did not mind the volume, but clarity was compromised. Keys were overly forward in the mix but were well played by Dan McGruer and Laughton Kora.
Overall, not bad. Some attention to the out front sound and it should be good.

Labels: Brad Kora, Christchurch., Dan McGruer, Francis Kora, Kora, Laughton Kora, The Bedford
