Maze at Apollo Hammersmith

September 13th, 2008 — Events, Music

Sunday, September 21, 2008
7:00 pmto11:00 pm

The best live soul band in the whole wide world, Maze (featuring Frankie Beverly), is coming to town for two nights at the Appollo Hammersmith (London) after several years away from the British music scene.

I actually wanted to hang up the phone, but after much humming-and-ahhing, I agreed to meet The Queen of Mean - the ice-cold host Anne Robinson - she who must be obeyed. Armed with her usual infamous put downs and razor-sharp wit, I guess you could just call me masochistic.
