Hugh Laurie and The Copper Bottom Band played wonderful blues and jazz at Palace Hall in the Romanian capital Saturday night, also sprinkled with old music history stories and a few small glasses of whisky, Agerpres informs.

Actor, author and musician Laurie has earned worldwide fame by the title role played in ‘Dr. House’, a misanthropist diagnostician genius, whose signature phrases also include ‘it’s not lupus’. Laurie performing in Bucharest was an impeccable, full of humour British musician, who put his band of outstanding instrument players at their best and told stories of the old blues or jazz songs they sang during the two-hour concert.

‘Thank you for coming here. I think you risk not knowing what to expect’, Laurie told the 4,000 audience at the start of the concert. “Many of you know I’m an actor. But my great passion is music. Well, it is as if you were on a plane and the pilot speaks to you: You know…I am a dental technician, in fact, but my great passion has always been flying. Of course you’d be nervous. But tonight your ‘flight’ is insured, because you are in the company of one of the best bands in the world – The Copper Bottom Band, Laurie said.
