MN2S
hosted the main stage at Park Live which was held in London's Brockwell
Park. We went along for what turned out to be a very enjoyable event that
played host to some first class acts that blew the crowd away.
As
we arrived at the site we were treated to the sound of SIR., Norman Jay
spinning a set of Soulful / Funky House tunes that were warming up the
early birds just right and getting us all in the mood for an afternoon
of fine music.
Martin Solveig followed and played a mixture of his own tracks in what
seemed like quite a short set.!? With the beer flowing nicely and more
people turning up all the time the atmosphere was definitely hotting up
as one of my favourite DJ's CJ Macintosh took to the decks. He was acompanied
by Shovel who did his thing on the drums that worked very well along side
Cj. who for me he was the DJ of the afternoon with his tight mixing and
excellent selection of tunes that the crowd really went for. He was in
total control and the perfect lead for the next act who was the one and
only Jocelyn Brown.
Jocelyn
was the second live act of the day with Michael Watford singing earlier
as he had to fly off to Italy for a gig. This was the first time I had
heard Jocelyn sing live and boy can she sing.! As she took to the stage
everybody seemed to serge forward to get closer to the vibe of what she
weas doing. She did two numbers, her collaboration with Todd Terry 'Something
Going On In Your Soul' and 'Believe' that she did with Eric Morrillo.
The whole place was going crazy to her and the vibe was amazing, even
my mate Chris (who doesn't smile very often) was clearly moved by her
performance.!. The only shame is that she didn't do another song, everyone
was shouting for one more but it was not to be :(
Following Jocelyn we were treated to House legend Tony Humphries who's
cool calm style was like a beam of sunshine that kept everyone moving
under the gray sky with a mixture of deep house grooves coupled with uplifting
vocal tracks that everyone new.
Unfortunately we had to leave during Tony's set to get back home which
was rather difficult to tear myself away at this point as we were well
into the whole vibe and didn’t want to leave.! In all the event
was brilliant and I will make sure to stay for the duration of the next
one..!
