Just got in from a brilliantly entertaining evening with Victor Romero Evans, Janet Kay and Carroll Thompson.
Fairfield Halls was packed. We made it just in time before the show started. Normally the audience takes time to warm up and get into the show, but not this crowd. We were ready as Victor Romero Evans opened the show, we laughed at every nuance, every word, every flick of his flowing locs.
For me it was my first time. I was not disappointed, or bored. I listened enthralled as all three described what it was like to be a "Lovers Rocker" back in the day. The clothes that was worn, what our parent's said/thought, the music we listened to, the times we fancied ourselves in love. We were even treated to a three-stage tutorial (he dare not take us any levels further) to what is was like to "rub down" by Victor Romero Evans.!!
Cleverly interwoven into the humour and singing, was the message that we as women, should love ourselves as God created us and not as society dictates we should be. The men were encouraged to appreciate the women. Most importantly we were all encouraged to love each other. We could easily have been sitting in a house on the sofa with a drink in hand, sharing experiences. It takes skill to pull something like that off!! The clapping and cheering carried on long after the singers and musicians left the stage and deservedly so.......
Victor Romero Evans, Janet Kay and Carroll Thompson, I commend you on thinking outside of the box; for taking your years of experience and songs and putting it altogether in a nostalgic, humourous and thoroughly engaging show. As I always say "Please continue xxx"
