| Summary: | At a time of Brexit and other restrictive sanitary-related lockdowns, it is obvious to say that we miss groups such as Hannah Williams & The Affirmations. This 9 musician band, very present on the international scene, was born in this small corner of southwest England well known for its rich musical history, Bristol. A story that this dapper "soul lady" has been writing brilliantly for a handful of years with two equally successful studio recordings (Late Nights & Heartbreaks -2016, 50 Foot Woman-2019). Two finely tuned choristers and a guitarist on the left, two brass instruments capable of blowing calm as well as a storm and a bass player on the right. In the center a multitasking keyboard, a versatile drummer, and at the front of the stage this breathtaking and volcanic Hannah Williams, whose vocal power is matched only by the great female figures of blues, soul and rock. Janis Joplin, Etta James, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin ... These names will inevitably come to mind. But the incredible effect produced by this obviously cohesive band when they find themselves on stage is completely theirs. Listening, for example, to "Part Time Lover", a track sampled by rap star Jay Z in 2018, as well as this stunning cover of "Dazed & Confused" (Led Zeppelin), you will discover for yourself the formidable magnetic power of this young band. You might even take the risk of hitting "replay" and watching this ebullient show for the second time in a row. We warned you! Julien D. |
