Lauded as possibly Zimbabwe's finest ever guitar band (especially by Andy Kershaw and John Peel, 2 BBC Radio 1 DJ's who championed their cause at the time), this is a concert from the first year of the period after the Bhundu Boys left Harare for the first time, when they first were trying to make it big in Europe.

  1. Thanks for everything.
    I guess no one has downloaded this one. I tried, and discovered that on File Factory, which is the only place I could find it, I can't get to disc 2. Both urls lead to the same place. Any chance of correcting this?

  2. Same problem! Any chance of getting this reuploaded with CD2 in place? CD1 is wonderful and my tape of the Peel Sessions is long lost, sadly, so would love a copy
