REVIEW: Sodi Cookey at The Camden Club - 23 June 23
Even a painful, pulled Achilles tendon didn't stop Sodi Cookey from putting on a wonderfully intimate performance. Seated for the entirety of his Camden Club showcase meant that Cookey had to work an up-tempo set while not moving too much. Used to bouncing around the stage, engaging with his band and audience, being fixed-to-the-spot didn't mean he wasn't spinning around on his stool, directing his band: the emotive bassist Michael Searle, talented pianist, Mark Rainbow and extraordinary drummer Nehemiah Ibe.
