Akwaba Inisene [Digipak] - Aly Keita

Ali with a fab line up

Advantages: great selection of artists and classics
Disadvantages: one track a bit samey

Ali Campbell's Running Free is a great mixture of songs featuring some equally as talented artists. What a brilliant CD to be given. "' Why this CD?'" I have been a big fan of UB40 since the age of 14yr and own some of their orginal albums on vinyl. For those too young to remember - those black things that came in 2 sizes 45" and 33" and when put onto a turn table played crackling, sorry cracking, sounds. I was given this Album by one of my daughters who (due to being weened on the greatest Reggae bands of all time) is also a big fan. We were both interested to see whether Ali's voice could be complimented by the featured artists as well as his fellow UB4O members. '"Technical stuff'" The CD has been produced & mixed by Ali, who also sings lead vocals on all tracks (plus much of the backing vocals) '"Featured Artists ...

Review of Running Free - Ali Campbell

Haji Ali Mosque, great Muslim Architecture

Advantages: Cheap, friendly people, ecellent view
Disadvantages: Delays, crowd

I been to Mumbai number of times mostly on official errands, naturally had little time for sight-seeing and I regretted it most of the time, main reasons being my inherent weakness and curiosity about Muslim history and their curious propensity for excellent art work. Who can forget the great ?Taj Mahal?, one of nine Wonders of the World, a piece unbelievable example of Islamic architecture and a tribute to Shahzahan?s great love for his wife Mumtaz. But during my recent visit I was determined to at least have a look at the eye catching Haji Ali Mosque. It was a decision that I will never rue. WHO WAS HAJI ALI: Syed Peer Haji Ali Shah Bukhari, Haji Ali who is believed to be a wealthy local business man in Bukharia, in the ancient Persian Empire now in Uzbekistan. Haji Ali traveled around the world in the early 1400s ...

Review of Haji Ali Mosque, Bombay

Ali Tandori curry house, Norwich

Advantages: Great food, great service, great for groups
Disadvantages: looking dated

Up until recently the Ali Tandori was the best Curry house in the city. Located down Magdalen Street it is in the ideal location for if you fancy a few quiet (and very cheap - well it is a Wetherspoons) drinks and then on for a late curry. The Ali is the ideal place for loud, abnoxious groups that are out to try and destroy their guts by eating a ridiculously hot curry to earn respect from their mates. The Ali has this reputation and as such, people who go there are not expecting any different. So, it doesn't matter of you get a bit loud, the language gets a bit blue and the topic of conversation gets even bluer. The Ali is one curry house that is not suitable for children and families, couples on a romantic date, or small groups that are out for a quiet meal. The decor is getting old and dated, but when out for a few jars ...
