Can you write a soul song about absolutely anything?
Well - Kai Smythe gives it a red-hot go and produces a series of belting tunes which knock the socks off those in attendance.
Swaggering on stage to a rousing accompaniment from the backing band, his whole body swallowed by a ridiculous fur coat, Smythe stands with his back to the audience and draws the microphone to him from its place embedded in a polystyrene rock at the front of the stage using his special soul-inspired Force powers.
What follows is fifty-minutes of great tunes and off-the-wall comedy which has the audience tapping their feet and laughing loudly.
Smythe certainly can sing and the band are very good indeed, the brass section being worthy of special mention in particular for vibrant bursts of horn during the songs.
A fun show with energy and enthusiasm from all concerned, 'Hairy Soul Man' is on at the Lithuanian Club Fridays and Saturdays until the end of the Festival.
