Event information

Straight from Georgia, the birthplace of James Brown himself, Guy Kelton Jones brings a powerful and polished celebration of the Godfather of Soul to Boisdale. Backed by a razor-sharp live band, dynamic horn section and two high-energy dancers, this show delivers the sound, style and sheer rhythm of Brown’s legendary performances.

Jones channels the raw vocal grit, tight choreography and showmanship that made James Brown a global force, performing classics like “Get Up Offa That Thing”, “Super Bad”, “Living in America” and “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag”. Every beat is delivered with the precision and passion that defined Brown’s stagecraft.

A must-see for soul fans and funk lovers alike, The G-dfather Returns is a high-calibre live show honouring the music, movement and legacy of one of the most influential artists in history - all live from the Boisdale stage.
