Last night I saw kd lang at the Royal Festival Hall. She was accompanied by the Sis Boom Bang and all I can say is,
“Wow!”
She was introducing her new album, “Sing it Loud” which she co wrote with Joe Pisapia, who is also one of the five, űber talented musicians who make up the Sis Boom Bang.
kd has never been in better voice or appeared so relaxed and well, just plain happy! She sang Leonard Cohen’s, “Hallelujah” and blew every other attempt to cover it right out of the water. Deservedly, she got a tumultuous standing ovation, people were crying, it was that beautiful.
So good in fact that I thought I’d give you a little taste of what we
enjoyed…..
It was one of those special concerts that you wish would never end, but finally after three encores she left the stage. A magical evening that started on the Southbank terrace, sipping cocktails in the sunshine and ended on a real high. If you get the chance…..GO!
