This was our third Gospel Blues show and they just get better and better. When my wife and I saw the line-up of Daniel Thomas, Beverley Skeete and Wayne Hernandez, we knew we were in for a treat. They are three of the best of the UK’s vocalists across all genres and between they have sung BV’s for many of the greats. So we were expecting great things and they delivered. Gospel Blues is not just Gospel and Blues, there is plenty of Soul and RnB too
There were so many highlights. ‘Go Down Moses’, ‘Amazing Grace’, ‘God Bless The Child’, ‘Proud Mary’, ‘Stand by Me’ and ‘Let’s Stay Together’, to name but a few. The chemistry between the singers and the band was strong. Each singer told a story, Beverley and Wayne about singing with Tina Turner and Daniel about James Brown. This was one of the best value for money gigs that I have ever attended in a long time.
The show was split into two sets and the lasted over two hours with only a short break. The band was led by music director Jason Thompson, with Jason playing keys, John Jackson on Drums, Kenny Barry Bass and Clint Williams Guitar. Together they complemented the singers.
The show was promoted by Ovie of CrazySexyCoool and I would recommend you book for the next show on September 30th if Gospel, Blues, Soul and RnB is your type of music. The way these shows are going, they will soon be playing to packed houses every fortnight and tickets will become harder to get each time. If you can’t make shows on a Sunday I would recommend seeing Beverley and Daniel perform with Michelle John at the Pheasantry on October 26th.
