EARTH WIND and FIRE
at B’RUM
Earth Wind & Fire played three UK arena gigs this week and our lucky crew member was fortunate
enough to catch them at the NIA in Birmingham.
Featuring Philip Bailey, whose son was on backing vocals and percussion, brothers Verdine and
Maurice White, and Ralph Johnson, they opened with their hit ‘Boogie Wonderland’, which had the
audience on their feet. Philip Bailey proved he is one of the greatest vocalists in the business, and
Verdine White must be the bass player with the most energy! All twelve members of the band were
brilliant and put on a fantastic performance.
The show was opened by funk soul band the Brand New Heavies, featuring original lead singer
N’Dea Davenport.
The evening was fabulous and both bands were great – definitely worth the journey to see them.
