Also performing on October 9th is Michael Kiwanuka after his sublime ‘Love & Hate’ album went to number one in the UK and received a glowing report from Live4ever:

“There are periods in our lives during which we’re defined as people by how we deal with ghosts.”

“Some of these apparitions are of strangers, some of those we knew and loved. The subjects may well not be dead, but most are within our heads, spectres of us, the psychological residue of fear, joy or regret.”
