Held between October 31st-November 2nd, slowthai was one of the main attractions of its opening day following the acclaim received by his debut album Nothing Great About Britain:

“It’s definitely fitting that where there is a person who gains respect by compassion and not the mis-use of power that figure is female; on Northampton’s Child Frampton’s mum is the hero, a role model depicted not in a landslide of sentiment, but against a starkly autobiographical depiction of temporary homelessness and domestic abuse,” Live4ever’s review reads.

“Opening up and showing weakness like that in the sometimes macho world in which urban music lives is a brave choice, one that backs up releasing work called Nothing Great About Britain and parodying the country’s rigid institutions, especially if you see them as being the problem not the solution.”
