Rob Wigley Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) Would just like to say what a fantastic show this was at The Button Factory in Dublin on the first show of their World Tour. Awesome show, if you can get tickets for her shows in the UK get them quick, she's also going to be on the Jools Holland show as well. Rob & Karen have a look and see what you're missing !

Guest bazabod_downunder Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Couldn't agree more, we saw here in Brisbane last month on her Australian leg, little lady dynamite, she certainly knows how to get the audience pumped, top performer......she did a great version of 'It's A Mans World' & 'There Was A Time'...not forgetting the band, tight all night...brilliant.

Rob Wigley Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 Seems like they are heading back your way-they are off into Europe again and I also am sure they said New Zealand & Austrailia again. It was Sharons birthday yesterday 52 years old, she's tiny about 4ft-10" -5ft, but what a performer ! Rob & Karen Link to comment

Guest DonnaD Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Me, Ady and James T are going to see her at the Jazz Cafe tomorrow night - can't wait Anyone else going along? Link to comment
Boogaloo Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Me, Ady and James T are going to see her at the Jazz Cafe tomorrow night - can't wait Anyone else going along? Nope, we're going tonight. Unfortunately I've just found out we can't get restaurant reservations upstairs so we'll have to rough it with the hoi polloi downstairs. We find soul goes down much better with Chablis and Chicken Chasseur. Warren Link to comment

Well Donna, we've just got back from the Jazz Cafe and you're in for a right royal treat. She's a superb performer, got great stage craft and has an excellent voice. She reminds me of a female James Brown how she works the audience. A great show but pity she doesn't yet have any real 'killer tunes' of her own to launch her into superstardom. All in all a 9/10 concert. Warren Edited April 16, 2008 by boogaloo Link to comment

Went with my wife last night and Sharon and the Dap Kings were fantastic. She had a couple of on stage dancers who weren't bad, but seeing that Mr Darge was there, perhaps he should have put them to shame with his classy moves! Plenty of killer tunes (Boogaloo what you talkin' about!) and what energy Sharon has, puts the likes of Leonie Lewis etc to shame!!! TTM Link to comment
jocko Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Probably a forlorn hope but nobody knows of tickets for Gateshead tomorrow? I thought I was going to be away and not able to go but can now and its sold out!! Typical of my organisation. Link to comment
Reg Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I missed out on tickets for Manchester unfortunately, but saw her on Jools Holland and she was brilliant! Jools pi**ed me off a bit as he had to point out that the Dap Kings are "well known for playing with Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse".... Yeah but I wonder who they like backing best Fantastic, it is a pleasure to see a good old fashioned SOUL singer instead of second rate replicas Link to comment

Gutted I am missing it. Hope you are both well and look forward to seeing you both. Edited April 18, 2008 by jocko Link to comment
Ady Croasdell Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 We caught her last night and she was brilliant. great singer, dancer, entertainer and person. A tiny bit too much funk for me but that's defo what her crowd want, she deserves all her success and the band's damn good too. Link to comment
Mal C Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 We all went down for the Friday night in Camden, well worth it.... I pulled the short straw and drove which is always fun in the early hours... I have to say that though The Jazz cafe is very small though it was a real push at the bar, more than made up for by Sharon and the Dapp Kings performance though, they even did "There was a Time" in the Encore which was brilliant..! Next time we eat and check the act from above! Mal.C. Link to comment
Guest DonnaD Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I thought they were brilliant. We def made the right choice booking a table and watching from the balcony as the place was heaving and couldn't see a thing when I ventured downstairs. I loved the funk dancers that Sharon kept pulling up on stage and can't believe how much energy she has. The only problem with eating and watching at the same time was that Ady kept stealing the food from my plate everytime I looked away Link to comment
