Keep The Faith Soulie Tunes

[Elsie Heffsey]

Elsie, have you ever heard of Jalen NGonda ?

I hadn't until this morning when l came across one of his songs on Spotify.

Have a listen tell me what you think, best new singer and writer I've heard for a long time !

every song of his I've heard is good.

Yes - bought his album a couple of months ago - it’s great. He’s on the Daptone label who have a reputation for retro soul music. At the same time also bought Thee Sacred Souls on the same label.

Have a listen

His album is fantastic. He's American but resides in Liverpool, or studied there.
I saw him live recently, & am going to the Roundhouse to see him next March.

Right - I didn’t know he was at the Roundhouse then.
My son lives close by
I need to sort out some tickets.

Quality, l might try a get there.

Bnet - Went to see Jalen N'Gonda at the Roundhouse last week. He was superb.
Did an 80 minute set and was banging them out one after another. Clearly a talented musician and the sound he and his band produced was outstanding - retro soul at its best.

He's on at Moseley on the a Sunday

I was there too, a stunning gig.
Moseley looks good value on the Sunday, both Jalen Ngonda & Ezra collective

Yes Mostly Jazz looks great for the Sunday which sadly I can't make. There on Saturday to see War though.

The way Jalen started his gig at the Roundhouse, doing his first four songs in about 15 minutes, I was thinking he'd only be able to fill about 40 minutes. Great voice, great sound - bits of Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson in there.

Also looking forward to seeing this guy at Moseley on the Saturday

A mate of mine likes to be there when the doors open so he can be right at the very front.
He does get some great pics though

I can't be doing with getting in early so was about halfway back.
Funny thing was ,I moved to the back before the encore & that's where all the lairy pissed up bleeders were....All the old 'uns
