The three musicians in Shifa have played together in various combinations before but never recorded, so this is a first – and it is glorious.

Audiences have finally caught up with the People Band, and ‘Live at Cafe Oto’ is the perfect road map to guide them forward.

If this gig at London’s Cafe Oto is anything to go by, we should be hearing the People Band for a long time to come.

New musical combinations can offer incredibly special moments. As Davey Payne, Terry Day and others performed, I realized: This was such an evening.

By day, it is just another cafe. However, at night Cafe Oto is a very different place.
