SJ & The Dap Kings actually played at The Sage in Gateshead on (Saturday) 19th April 2008.
The band was marvellous & very professional, but the gig was marred by bad sound quality to the lead vocals. Consequently, Ms Jones stormed off stage twice during the set. It looked as though she held the sound engineers accountable, but a steward told me that she had spent all of five minutes sound-checking before the gig.
Either way, it was a bit of a disappointment since I was so looking forward to seeing and hearing Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings play live.
Next time they tour the "UK" perhaps their promoters might include venues in Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland.

Regards, John Elliot, Hawick in the Scottish Borders.

I've seen these guys live before and they were outstanding. Thanks for those two videos – they really are great the "This is a mans world" one is amazing! xx
