Mulatu Astatke v Britain's Got Talent

Escaped from teenage daughter watching 'Britain's Got Talent', with some joker playing 'keepy uppy' with a football, while a ghetto blaster played. At first, even Amanda Holden thought that he belonged on a football field rather than in a theatre, but hey, the crowd went wild and Simon Cowell loved it, so I must be wrong, it wasn't shite and he is the future of entertainment.

Thankfully, Gilles Peterson had Mulatu Astatke live in session from Maida Vale. I'd certainly rather listen to a 65 year old Ethiopian than anything that Piers Morgan thinks is entertainment. Note to self - time to stop watching certain TV shows with teenage daughter, we'll only upset each other.
