BOBBY WOMACK (London Royal Albert Hall, 29/10/13)

 


London is not a city made for late night gigs. Its infrastructure essentially shuts down after midnight, and unless you’re lucky enough to live within Zone 1, getting home after the music is as fun as your average Nickleback show. Which explains why this 11pm Bobby Womack performance was so undersold, they felt the need to give out free tickets on the night. That didn’t stop the old R&B legend putting on one hell of a show, trotting out hit after hit with his astoundingly tight backing band. Not quite as brilliant as his Latitude performance earlier this year (possibly due to tiredness all round), but still worth suffering the night-bus home for.
