Shalamar at the Royal Concert Hall.
My wife bought the tickets and her pal couldn’t go so I went along instead. What I didn’t know was that the special guest supporting Shalamar would be Gwen Dickey, ‘the voice of Rose Royce’.
She was stupendous and I’d have been happy to pay the ticket price just for her performance.
As for the main act? Meh. I recognised just four of the songs and their interaction with the audience was cringeworthy cheesiness.
Gwen, on the other hand, absolutely connected and got a far better reception. In fact, the applause and cheering was so intense at one point that she couldn’t get started on her next song. She looked genuinely shocked and moved by the audience’s response. I thought she was going to cry.
If you get the chance to see her, grab it.

Saw Richard Ashcroft at Westonbirt Arboretum last night. Always a great set and on a summers evening in a lovely venue - very nice.
