Urban Development: Ladies Unplugged review

What: Urban Development – Ladies Unplugged
Where: Stratford Circus E15
When: 13th November
Who: Yolanda Brown, Shola Ama, Ms Dynamite, hosted by Fusion

First of all, big up Index from AG Publishing for getting me in, I had a great time bruv and appreciate it.

Got there about 10mins from the end of Yolanda Brown’s performance (yes, I am a late waste man) and was gutted; she is excellent, real energetic, smooth jazz and she’s stunning to look at too. No disrespect to the UK crew, but when someone makes and performs jazz music this well my mind automatically thinks they are from the States, but this girl is homegrown so go support, she will be big.
Ms Dynamite walked onto the stage after the interval as Index and I took our seats high above the auditorium and she murked it, especially with a spontaneous live band rendition of ‘Boo!’ She was politically and social enthused and is a whole lot of women (don’t think most of us fellas could handle her) and owned the stage, found it easy to create a relationship with the crowd and held up her energetic performance (out of breath slightly on Boo!).
Shola Ama took the stage to close the event, I’ve always thought she was special and she didn’t disappoint and came across quite humble in front of the audience. She’s got such natural vocals, X-factor and all that is good (shout to Danyl) but these are the standards people should be aspiring towards.

Fusion was class, funny and charismatic, blended the performances and stage-audience banter perfectly.
