DAPTONES SUPER SOUL REVUE (London Shepherd's Bush Empire, 27/06/14)


For soul of the old-school variety, you can't do much better than the Daptones label, and this showcase of their finest talent did not disappoint. Sharon Jones, recovered from cancer and more vivacious than ever and Antibalas with their energetic Afrobeat both put on excellent sets, but the night inevitably belonged to "The Screaming Eagle of Soul" Charles Bradley, a once-homeless sexagenerian reborn as an soul man with the voice of James Brown and the moves of a drunken uncle.
