For those who were not able to make it to last 5 shades of funk gig, you missed quite a show. The night started off slowly with the shades doing a funked impression of "Little Green Bag" with the audience building up to over 200 before they knew it!
The band played for over two hours with some highlights being Stevie Wonder's "Superstition". The classic old school funk song "Jungle Boogie" as well as the sexy "Heard It Through The Grapevine". The crowd also rocked to some of the 5 Shades original grooves with Hot Rox spitting out the raps, Fraser and Vass keeping a mean beat and Neil firing out incendiary licks, Marie's soulful singing on "Santa Baby" kept everyone entranced and put us in the Christmas spirit, while Marcel's artful voice acrobatics kept us on our toes.
The room was pumping the mood was fantastic, and just when you thought you could sit down and rest, DJ Roy came in and kept everyone on their toes while the Shades took a much needed break. Before long they were back on to continue their second set, making sure the music never stopped. With drinks flowing and moods soaring the night slowly wound down with DJ Ray on the decks till closing time. All together an amazing night that won’t be forgotten any time soon.
