Sola Akingbola @ Tiata Delight, Almeida Theatre, London
Sola performed on 2nd August 2008 (his birthday!) as the last act at the Tiata Delight festival in the Almeida Theatre in London.
I was so lucky to get tickets in the sold out venue and I went there with my family, Sandra and Daniela.
As it was a festival with different Artists, Sola didn't perform a complete gig, but it was great to see him on stage performing with so much energy and passion! It was a great evening which we will always remember!!
Here are some pics:

yeah it was totally incredible!!! a concert full of diversity..
i don´t know all the names of the instruments the guys were playing some of them i have never seen before!!!
will try to find out!
here some pics dani and me took..
(i totally liked the building)
the concert was about to start 9 pm ..we were already there at 7:30 of course..we waited in front of the entry door ...(dont´know if that makes sense now but i don´t know how write it else-->)..the funny thing is that about half an hour before the concert they put this rope as a boarder around us..but they also didn´t tell us to go away!! ahhaha
we were caught! ahhaha
solas performance was....NOT AS I HAD EXPECTED!!!
he had this totally cool white clothes on and he was singing..and dancing and it was just a pleasure to see him kinda exploding on stage!! he didn´t play on the bongos or so..he just had a little percussion instrument in his hands...i have to say again..his singing was totally amazing...
he was just like 2 meters away from us..totally thrilling..i have never been THAT close..just TOTALLY mad experience for me ..
after the show he came out and i had my first " talk" with a bandmember of jamiroquai in my life
we bought a cd there and luckily meike had a pencil for sola so that he could sign them!!
*excitement overkill!!!*
we told him that there will be loads of us in ahaus and he mean he will look out for us! HAHAH
(sandra a bit happy after the chat with sola)
what a night  _________________ "Here it is...there is no way to make it better " |

Thank you so much Meike and Sandra for these pics and reviews
Such great pics of Sola Normally you only get his head behind the bongos
Wonderful for the boys, that they were allowed to get in too, Meike
I hope they enjoyed the music and perfomance

Wonderful review and pictures. I was especially happy that fans were going to be able to support and see Sola in his natural element, representing his heritage and just feelin' the vibe!
I am so happy the boys and Miran got to experience this as well Meike.
Sandra - such a cute emotion about talking to a member of Jamiroquai.
Thank you all so much for sharing this with us. I am gutted that I have not gotten to see Sola perform Sola yet...but I know for sure...my time is coming  _________________ www.dee34.wordpress.com |
