Mr Hudson at the 100 Club, London

It's been a long time since I've seen Mr Hudson perform. I think maybe even back at the iTunes festival when Kanye West came out and joined him on the stage of the Roundhouse. A lot has happened since then, and when I heard that he was going to be playing at the 100 Club - I was surprised and pleased to be able to see him play such a small venue again.

I guess I've been a bit out of the loop on Mr H for a minute. Over the last 12 months or so, I'd heard a couple of new tracks Fred Astaire and Step into the Shadows - both very different. I was intrigued that Mr H was still making exciting and challenging music, wondering when an album would come out etc.

A big surprise to me and a really nice surprise was to see that Joy was playing with Mr H again. They're vocals go so well together - I just love that sound from the first album. The gig was incredible, hitting the old tunes in different ways, peppered throughout with new material and introducing new band members that add new sounds to Mr H's palette.  New songs which include the sounds of Saxophone as well as some quite rocky guitar as well as the electronica and beats.

Here is the setlist from last night....

Looking forward to hearing what is coming next from this great pioneering UK artist.

Here are some videos from last night - enjoy!

Bread & Roses

A Tale of Two Cities

Step into the Shadows
Also very much worth mentioning were the support acts Matt Henry (incredible voice and interesting tracks written together with MrH "Under the Influence?") looking forward to checking his material out and G FrSH who was brought some South London hip hop to the proceedings.
