Mavis Staples "Eyes On The Prize"
As you will see from the above sign, Ms Staples did not quite make it to her performance at the Sage the other night (nor to Basingstoke Anvil four nights later, according to my dad). Disappointing as this was, it was handled brilliantly by the Sage who, not having chance to warn us as the cancellation had only happened that afternoon, offered everyone a full refund and yet still ploughed on with the support act, Jhelisa (talented, but SO not my thing) and The Mavis Staples Band (just sans...

Mavis Staples "Eyes On The Prize"
The soul kids with the sharpest pencils in their pocket protectors probably noticed that Souled On Samples XX is now gone daddy gone. The story behind why gets too involved to bother explaining (or maybe my insidious clue will help you figure it out), but needless to say, the entire post is officially retired. When last seen, it had purchased a deluxe condo in Florida and planned on spending the
