The title of this blog relates to the initial impressions of Shuv one of Stephen's mates who was at the Rebirth gig earlier tonight after Stephen explained who the band were. It was really good to meet him for the first time and the gig itself was superb. Before heading for the Jazz Cafe we went to Wagamamas as planned and I went for the easy option of just a chicken raaken which was basically a soup with chicken and noodles.
When arriving at the Jazz Cafe it was pretty sparse but there was a woman spinning some superb tunes before the band arrived. Stephen even felt tempted to go up to her and request Earth Wind and Fire! After a few drinks we went up to the main dancefloor itself to see if there was anyone we'd recognise and Sandra C turned up looking superb on her birthday (I didn't ask her age!) We had a photograph taken which I should upload when either Steve or Sandra sends it to me, and this was probably the first gig I've been at where I have been more than a little tipsy!
There were quite a few encores including a superb medley consisting of Roy Ayers 'Running Away' and the short but sweet 'Brazillian Rhyme' by Earth Wind and Fire. And I managed to get all the band members to sign my copy of their CD which I shall being giving away next week on the show! As I type this I've just returned to the flat where I've discovered a packet of water bombs on the kitchen table. Then again with the weather we've had today a few wouldn't go amiss!
