Adrian Phillips reaches for the cod liver oil as he recuperates from a Staff Benda Bilili gig. "I’ve been to some amazing gigs and, hopefully, I will go to more, but for raw, pulsating energy and sheer joy of the music I don’t think I’ve ever experienced anything quite like Staff Benda Bilili at the O2 in Oxford on Friday night.

London date at the Barbican for this year's sensational band form DR Congo, Staff Benda Bilili. Mesmerising rumba-rooted grooves and vibrant vocal from agroup of paraplegic street musicians from Kinshasa who's music is topped off my the youngest member's creativity on a "home made lute". Fantastic album, Tres Tres Fort this is a must not miss gig.
