Review - During the warm summer
months, Ruby has been performing with Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues
Orchestra at outdoor Festivals and 'Picnic' Concerts throughout the country to
rave reviews. Here's just one example from the BBC Radio Suffolk Website, who
covered the Newmarket Nights concert in July :
"And just when you thought things couldnt get any better, the
machine that is The Big Band shifted into yet another gear and in came Ruby
Turner and what a voice she has. In person, as Birmingham as you could ever
wish to be, but on stage she has a voice that will blow your hat off and leave
the Americans wondering how on earth she does it. How many roads must a man
walk down? She asked an enthralled crowd, the opening line of Dylans
timeless "Blowing in the wind", she had got them instantly in the
palm of her hand. The band went wild chasing her superbly improvised jazz
version of the classic and just when you thought she had given them everything,
effortlessly she gave more. That was a moment I shall bookmark for recollection
purposes. She made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Wow!"
