Jason S Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Best venue in the North East for live Soul/Jazz acts bar none. Got mind-blown by Gregory Porter there a few months back - intimate, friendly venue: if you're at the front you're about a foot away from these heroes! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Johnny One Trout Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Am I being a bit fick, did i just see that tickets are £175? As much as I love Chaka and Incognito for that sort of money I would be expecting a guest appearance from Marvin and Curtis as well Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

F*ck me, the tickets are a bit steep though! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mike Lofthouse Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Am I being a bit fick, did i just see that tickets are £175? As much as I love Chaka and Incognito for that sort of money I would be expecting a guest appearance from Marvin and Curtis as well I really fancied a trip up for that John - its just up the road and she wiill be great in a small venue I'm sure. Fair play to them - you would never get an act of this calibre in a small club unless you paid a premium - the tickets are similiar prices at her only other dates in the UK at Ronnie Scotts. And I believe any profits will go to charity. Mind, Lonnie Liston Smith is on at the same venue next month for £10 a ticket! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jason S Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yeah, Warren's come in for some stick on this one but trust me, the guy makes next to nothing from these gigs - I think Chaka and her crew cost a bomb and he's put his neck on the line to bring her to his venue: it's expensive for sure but comparable to what it would cost to see her at Ronnie's as Mike says. Some folk (no-one on here I doubt) pay ££££ to see a tiny dot of Kylie Minogue lip syncing on a stage about half a mile away. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Alison H Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) https://www.hoochiecoochie.co.uk/event/artist/chaka-khan-incognito/#.U3DebfldXfII've just got back from the "Southport Weekender" (that is held in Minehead ) & I didn't enjoy her performance at all (unlike when she supported Mary J Blige a few years back when she was fab) She was just too shrieky this time, & I left before the end of the performance. I can't see it working in a small venue when she wants to belt them out, but as I have friends who've paid the £175 I hope for their sakes that she is worth the ridiculous money they have forked out. I paid £220 for a whole weekend of great worldwide dj's (too many to mention them all - Tony Humphries, Kenny Dope, Kerri Chandler, Terry Hunter, The Basement Boys) with Chaka thrown in the package, along with the Brand New Heavies, Omar, Lisa Shaw, Faith Evans & Archie Bell & The Drells (who I WOULD have paid £175 to see! He was incredible!!!) Good luck to all Hoochie Coochiers, I truly hope your experience is better than mine Regards Ali Edit: perhaps I should add .. there were 100's who did seem to enjoy her performance, she just wasn't for me this time Edited May 12, 2014 by Alison H Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
