Closing what looked like a great Sonnet Youth spoken word evening, MC Solareye, aka Dave Hook, was armed with simply a laptop and a mike, but gave us a blazing 20 minute set which included a rendition of ‘Scottish People Can’t Rap’, ‘A Day with the Wee Man’ and to finish the last Stanley Odd single ‘It’s All Gone to F@@@’.
Hook is one of Scotland’s best lyricists, rappers and deliverers, knows where to put the beats, the spaces and the callouts, and he went down pretty well with this crowd – BM notes that Sonnet Youth will be doing further stuff here on a monthly basis in 2020 – get along when they do!
