Kool And The Gang
With glittery jackets and matching dazzling dance moves, veteran funk favourites Kool And The Gang rolled out all their classics for this adoring crowd. Perhaps a little slow in the build-up, with a fair dollop of bland cheese feeling slightly stodgy, this was all forgotten when the booming brass of Get Down On It kicked in. A syrupy (in a good way) Cherish eased the crowd into the double-punch of the great Ladies Night followed by Celebration’s victorious singalong chorus as only the harshest of critics could leave without a big grin on their face.
