“It’s one o’clock in the morning, man. Who’s watching the cats?!” shrieked Jacob Lusk last night at Soho’s Ronnie Scott’s, as he and his Gabriels bandmates delivered what went down, in my books, as one of London’s best gigs in years.
Moody and melancholy opening numbers crescendo-d into glorious solos as Lusk punctuated his set with camp, effusive banter, getting the audience to ‘oo-lala’ in lieu of any backup singers on his band’s hit song, Blame.
