Marvellous Mavis
The legend that is Mavis Staples keeps giving. Her personality engages the audience and with that voice produces a great evening. Mavis has a super band lead by the exceptional guitarist Rick Holmstrom. Mavis gave us 70 minutes of soulful blues with 7 songs from the Staples Singers in her set.

I have seen all her London visits over at least the last 25 years and this was the best in a long ti
Good to hear more Staples Singers material than is usual, she did a resume of her whole career. Less talking and more singing was welcome. Her band who have been with her for a long time were very tight and the sound was excellent. Shame there wasn’t an encore (The Weight) but she was entitled to be exhausted.
All in all a great evening in one of London’s better venues
