Black Orchids at Afropunk
An earlier intervention of Musical Meanderings, where I continued to enjoy the new Thursday evening, but this time a 6 o’clock start to prepare for heading straight to the Standon Calling festival after. This allowed me to enjoy the theme of some of the great music I’ve been hearing at festivals this year and some highlights of the past few years, including recent stalwarts Desperate Journalist and also the Black Orchids who performed at the Afropunk festival in London the previous weekend.
Also during the show I played music by bands I enjoyed meeting recently, including 1968, who organised a great gig up in Chester where they invited Sabatta to join them. They’re a wonderful blend of riff heavy stoner rock with the right mix of the blues. I was able to see them again recently at a multi band day at the Black Heart in Camden organised by Oak who are also a wonderful, heavy stoner rock type band, who also blend in the right amounts of psychedelia.
You can listen to the show again here:
