We went out midweek to the wonderful Roundhouse venue and saw the sassy
and energetic Paloma Faith performing as she tours promoting her new album. She
looked great in a black and white dress in the rockabilly style of the 1950’s,
her red hair was fluffed up and she wore a small black hat/fascinator and
killer black heals. The set was gleaming white on several levels and the band
played white instruments (apart from the brass and double bass). There was a
trumpet, saxophone and a trombone player in the brass section, a lead
guitarist, a drummer a piano/keyboard player and a couple of musicians that
played several instruments (a keyboard/guitar player and a striking woman who
played keyboard, electric and double bass). Faith showed her insecure side as
she reacted to less than whole positive review in the papers by referring to it
throughout her set, otherwise she was her normal funny and bubbly self. The opening
act was King Holiday and ‘astro-soul’ group from Brooklyn, the lead singer of
which channelled Prince and James Brown in equal measures, the band were a
talent group of drummer, bassist, lead guitar, saxophone player and a couple of
girls singing backup. It was a long night and the fact that it was standing
only tickets meant we were quite exhausted when we got home after midnight. Go
fun even though.
