The atmospheric setting of the downstairs bar at the Latest Music Bar (formerly the Joogleberry Playhouse) was perfect for drag cabaret performer Trudi Styles and her accomplished pianist Patrick O’Brien. Both performed with panache, establishing an easy rapport with each other.
A range of numbers from I’ve Never Been To Me to an unusually soulful version of Queen’s I Want To Break Free were interspersed with warm banter between the two. Ms Styles displayed a relaxed manner with her audience, with both strong vocals and amusing patter, while managing to keep it clean and classy.
Guest performers varied in calibre, but a highlight was a band called Karl Jenner And The W*****s, who were strong and charismatic.
The evening, however, belonged to Trudi and Patrick. More of the same please.
