The Blind Boys of Alabama really sang up a storm at the Barbican last night.
If you have not heard of them before they really are blind, come from Alabama but are not boys. Can they sing soul gospel, oh yes, as their five Grammys show.
Show stopping songs included Amazing Grace, Spirit in the sky, Keep the Devil down in the hole. Its worth adding Billy Bowers voice has impact of a thunder strike, when the big man gets up to sing watch out!
Allen Toussaint the legendary New Orleans singer/songwriter was the perfect first half compliment.
