Goddess Grace




We were lucky enough to get to see Grace Jones live at the Enmore Theatre last week. We had seen her once before in Rome in 2000 and knew we were in for something special. We weren't disappointed at all!
Contrary to the common opinion expressed to us before hand, Miss Jones was on time, professional, chatty, tantrum free and, most important of all, utterly F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!!
Grace perfomed many of her classics as well as songs from her new album Hurricane. The concert was fantastic, a true performance that had the whole audience screaming for more.
Grace performed in a corset and g-string, leaving the stage at the end of each song to come out in new hat/mask and/or jacket. Highlights of the performance included Grace singing Slave to the Rhythmn (and then walking around the stage introducing the band) whilst hula-hooping, using a shiny hat to turn herself into a human mirrorball and a true performance piece for the title song Hurricane from her album which took our breath away.
She may be in her 60's but Grace Jones is still fierce and still can rock the world!
