Michael Franti & the Spearhead get it absolutely right with ‘Nobody Right, Nobody Wrong’.
OK so I’ll admit, this song probably isn’t quite as good as I’m giving it credit for. But I’ll defy anyone to listen to it when the sun’s shining and not feel like the world’s just got an insy winsy bit better. If you’re a sucker for anything remotely gospel-tinged, this song is a must for summer down-town cruises in your BMW soft top (ahem Renault Clio.)

“Better than the real thing” was one comment among the many overheard during the interval at Cardiff’s CIA on Thursday night. Quite an over-statement maybe but considering these guys are described as one of the best tribute acts on the planet, it could be forgiven this one time, because seriously, close your eyes and you’re there at a genuine Floyd gig.

Thank goodness I never found a bookmaker willing to take my bets on pop music’s next big thing. The fact that bands like the Howling Bells and The Concretes aren’t topping the bill at Glastonbury, conjures up a picture of a bookie’s outstretched podgy hand and a glum-faced me.
Of course I’ve backed the occasional winner in the last few years: I was one of the first to be raving about Franz Ferdinand and long before the Arctic Monkeys made the charts, I had them marked down as the bizz. But what’s there to shout about? As my granny used to say: ‘Stand a blind cat in a fish tank and sooner or later he’ll be munching on a guppy’.
