Post subject:  Sarah Brown's tribute to Mahalia Jackson

I caught this excellent show at the 100 Club in London last night and the Roxy/Ferry "family" was well represented:

*Sarah herself sang backing vocals for Roxy & BF in the period 2001-2007, before her work with Simple Minds;

*Colin Good, her pianist, was, of course, MD for just about all things Ferry for a couple of decades;

*Tom Wheatley, her bassist, toured as part of BF's jazzy band in 2013;

*Leo Abrahams, who joined in the fun on guitar for a couple of numbers, was part of the Dylanesque tour in 2007;

*Chris Spedding played on Sarah's album and might well have been on this gig, had he not been on tour in the USA;

*Cherisse Osei, Sarah's Simple Minds bandmate, toured with BF in 2012-13 and was in last night's audience.
