Despite the Jamaican laid-back reputation Cliff and his band – in casual red tops and black trousers – arrived on stage at bang-on 9pm and worked non-stop throughout.
I am a freedom fighter for peace, love and justice, announces the reggae Elvis, complete with garish jumpsuit, as he introduces a version of his 1969 anti-war song Vietnam, updated to decry the Afghanistan conflict as well as Iraq, Gaza and Nigeria.
Filling the sold-out auditorium with an ocean of positivity, he treated the eclectic crowd to a first-person account of roots-rock history and a career-spanning setlist from his 50-plus years as a musical icon.
Walking on stage to a slew of cheers Cliff took a seat amongst a row of hand drums and began a rendition of Bongo Man that featured drums of all sizes for each member of his band.
