Go Jools!!

Wow.  What an evening of entertainment.
I don't know where to start.  From the very beginning it was pure music magic.  I have never see a bunch of musicians so happy in their work.  From the minute they came on stage they were in entertaining mode.  Oh sorry, did I tell you where I was?  Me and Kev went to see Jools Holland and his Big Band! Big being the operative word here, they were larger than life, every one of them.  I am trying to think of some adjectives to use to describe them and I think the only one really is Cool!!  Cool with a hat (seems to be a pre-requisite for being in the band) and the funky-er the better!!  But good as they were, there was no dancing.  Hmmm....anyway Jools played, his 'guest stars' sang, all good.  Then he brought on Alison Moyet. Wow again, what an entertainer, she sang 'Love Letters' and 'Only You' and a couple of others.  Looks very different to the Alison I remember.  Only getting over her and then he introduced the 'Queen' of Boogie Woogie.....Ruby Turner!!  OMG and then there was dancing!!  What a powerhouse of song, so entertaining, the crowd were on their feet in seconds.  She rocked the joint!  Even Kevin was on his feet, and he had no idea who she was.  We had a great time.  Oh yeh and the drum solo, was just OK..........!
