Bluesfest: Raghav

Sometimes , when you don't know what to see at Bluesfest, you can find yourself watching something you're surprised to enjoy. Unfortunately, that wasn't going to happen on this particular Saturday. Some folks may have flipped over the Eastern-flavoured nu-R&B of Raghav, but I wasn't oing to be one of themm. I took photos anyway, mind you, for those of you who like that kind of thing ...

First, some DJ action!



The man himself! Let the record show I had to take about a dozen photos to get one where he was standing sufficiently still for it to be in focus.



He also had a toaster on hand.



Planning action!



The whole lot!



I didn't need a whole lot of what he was laying down, so I headed off to see Alyssa Reid.
