Talking of the World Service party, among the acts to play at the suitably international and refreshingly eclectic night (Ms Melua wasn't really representative) were a rather fine Kenyan group called Yunasi, who last week won the BBC station's annual global new music competition Next Big Thing. The eight piece won the annual pop contest with their song 'Ndi Ndi Ndi', which is apparently about the dangers of excess drinking. I have to say, if their three song set at the World Service party is anything to go by, they're really good, and well worth tracking down. A damn sight more exciting than Melua. And the Spice Girls.
