Here’s Barry Adamson singing Gil Scott-Heron @ ‘A Tribute To Gil Scott-Heron” on 8th May 2012 as part of the Brighton Festival 2012.  

Turns out Barry Adamson (like you need me to tell you ex-Magazine, The Bad Seeds and solo artist) has just moved to Brighton.

Here’s the official description of the event:

Canongate publisher Jamie Byng, poet Lemn Sissay, writer/poet Salena Godden (Under the Pier) and ex-Magazine and Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds bassist, film director and solo artist Barry Adamson celebrate the publication of Gil Scott-Heron’s memoirs, The Last Holiday, in this tribute to the American singer, poet and ‘Godfather of rap’.
