Having realised he wasn’t one for hard knocks, this weekend’s gig from the Mercury Prize-nominated drummer, producer and bandleader instead showed off the incredible dexterity and subtlety he’s learned as a musician in the intervening years. Across two 45-minute sets at the south east London venue, Boyd lead his superb five-piece band through a show that was cosmic, joyous and musically dazzling.
