Date of performance
3 July 1998 Labi Siffre is a fabulous musician, do check out his oeuvre. You may not know, but you do now, his song 'It Must Be Love' went on to be a huge hit when it was covered by Madness. And 'Something Inside So Strong' reached No 4 in the charts, it was always believed it was written about the senseless killing of children by a white South African soldier during the racist apartheid regime in South Africa and was used as an anti-apartheid anthem; but in later interviews Labi Siffre confirmed that it was in fact, written about gay rights, and the oppression he felt from society that as a gay man, he was not free to be and express himself in his sexuality.
