SO , I just finished organising soundcheck for Femi Kuti , it was his first European tour and I was proud to be a part of history .
Fela KUTI 's son , one of my African musical heroes , Nigeria's greatest musician who introduced himself to the world as: “My name is Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. Black president or Chief Priest of Shrine"
I was shooting black & white images every day and night,documenting his fabulous performances with his sisters,Sola one of them,dancing like African queens .
I then joined the other bands soundcheck after my job was done,met Foley, Miles lead bass player,Joe Cocker's bassist, TM Stevens and my private VIP seat on all stages secured.
Miles & Femi captured in one shot was a personal highlight of my tour manager part-time jobs, always a camera in my hand , ready for the special moments . I think , I might have taken thousands of pictures in a decade of pure musical pleasure meeting legends like James Brown,Chaka Khan,Kool & The Gang, Commodores ,Cameo,Maze,Jimmy Cliff,Black Uhuru,Stanley Clarke,Al di Meola,Bobby Womack, Percy Sledge,even Prince and so many many many more ......
