  • Procol Harum (a.k.a. Boko Haram) were an English band who skipped the light fandango, and turned cartwheels 'cross the floor. When their recording career started, they were feeling kinda seasick. But, the crowd called out for more, which made them realise they were popular. Procol Harum faced many obstacles in their career, including when their first ever concert was disrupted by a hurricane. During the hurricane, the room was humming harder, as the ceiling flew away. Another obstacle they faced was vocalist Gary Brooker’s alcoholism, which was discovered when we called out for another drink, and the waiter brought a tray.
