Saturday 12 January Sydney Summer Festival

picnic in the park
As part of the three week long Sydney festival there are three free concerts in the Domain. Tonight's line up was three soul divas from America, none of whom we'd heard of before. We'd arrived a couple of hours early with Sue and Bill from Camomile to bag a good spot and we did, close to the stage and close to one of the big screens.
The support band, Slowpoke Mahoney, were forgettable but the three divas were wonderful. It was a show of verve, dynamism and pure talent; Angelique Kidjo sang the gospel of African rhythms, Dianne Reeves the American gospels and the star for us, Lizz Wright with a voice of honey and effortless style.
