07/02/16: Late Sunday afternoons, the fag ends of the week-end, precursors the working week to come, can be pretty morose and depressing.
All the more so when storm Imogen is pounding the country and messing up one’s hair. So it was a relief to head to the warm and welcoming womb that is the Vauxhall Tavern, this Sunday. High up on stage and her stilettos, Charlie Hides was parading a new form-hugging tiger-print outfit and dishing out a few home truths of her own making, with no concern for her audience’s sensibilities. Celebrities like Madonna and Christina were not spared either. Her impersonations of Sharon Osborne, Joan Rivers and Cher proved popular and drew the most cheers; obviously a favourite of Hides’ followers’. By 7, resident DJ Simon Le Vans took charge of the decks and brought the atmosphere in the house to fever pitch and our windy weekend to a suitably storming end.
