Jon-Paul
Bradshaw raised the roof, shook the ground and shattered the windows
(metaphorically
of course) at his Best of British gig at the Princess in Maybury last night. In
a fabulous salute to the last five decades of British music, he rocked the pub
for St. George’s day.
Once again displaying an amazing vocal range,
Jon-Paul, sporting a fabulous British flag on his shirt, took us backwards and
forwards through the decades from the 60’s to the present with a well chosen
selection of songs from the great, the good and the popular. The choice of
music included song from The Jam, Madness, The Style Council, Oasis, The Who, The Clash, The Rolling
Stones, The Verve, George Michael, Rod Stewart, Duran Duran, Stereophonics, Adam and the Ants, Tears For
Fears the Foundations, Take That and many more.
We were all delighted with Jon-Paul’s rendition of
Re-light my Fire accompanied with a tongue in cheek copy of the Take That
moves. This, along with the comedic changing of some of the lyrics and the odd
cheeky comment to the crowd showed off Jon-Paul’s ability to interact with the
crowd as well as being a brilliant singer.
The songs from Madness even had the men strutting
their stuff on the dance floor and that is a rarity in most pubs. Men and women in their 40’s and 50’s can still
rock the dance floor and the Princess was certainly rocking last night as the
years rolled back and the memories flooded, fuelled by JP’s top rate
performance.
Once again the atmosphere was fun, fast and
fabulously energetic, sprinkled with laughter and top songs sung by our very
own Jon-Paul Bradshaw. Anyone in the Woking area should come along to the gigs
as they are a wonderful opportunity to see some home grown talent. JP also gigs in other areas, see below for information.
