@patrickhadfield Indeed! I only caught him live once, a Moholo two-nigher in Ravenna (2016). First night was Minafric Orchestra + Tippett/s + Moholo, and then (wrong way round, but Moholo insisted, alas) the Couple in Spirit, which was eerily wonderful ... difficult to get in after the blast, but slowly captivating. (Second night was Moholo Four Blokes - great fun of course!)
