Stuart, a former member of the Average White Band as well as various collaborations with Chaka Khan and others made a welcome return to the 606 for an evening of Scottish soul with, maybe a hint of jazz in the mix. The first set was livestreamed.
In truth it wasn't entirely my scene although I did appreciate the solos and with Ross Stanley, semi hidden in a corner on 'lecky' keyboard and Jim Watson getting B3 sounds out of another keyboard the groove was definitely in.
Stuart did the singing, Phillips, the guitar and the other two laid the foundations for a taste of Glaswegian soul.
The numbers were relatively unknown to me although I recognised some of the titles apart from the last which was based around the legend that was Muhammad Ali - How the Mighty Have Fallen. This was, for me, the best number of the night - I guess they saved Pick up the Pieces for the second set.
Other numbers included:I Got Work to do; What Cha' Gonna Do For me?: Wordsworth; Cloudy.
Now that the lockdowns are threatening to return once the Xmas party season is over I guess livestreams too will be coming back so, although the future isn't entirely bleak nor is it too rosey... Lance
