A few months back Mr Fame popped up at The Maddermarket in Norwich. Expecting the worst from the make up of the crowd (chicken in a basket supper club "jazz") I was presently surprised. Straight into a cooking version of Green Onions with some blues covers mixed in. A few obvious crowd pleasers (I don't like "Bonnie and Clyde" I can tell you) and don't expect "Thunder", "El Bandido" and other Mod obscurities - but a good night in general. He kept up a steady running commentary on his career and tracks throughout. A tight and young backing band were great as well.
Well, he's back at the same
venue on 27th and 28th November priced at 16 quid. Also out this week is retrospective of some classic soul jazz tunes, including "Thunder", "Seventh Son" and appears to be available for under a fiver...
