About

Table reservations from 6pm | Live Music: 9.00pm

"These guys are pure class and really hold up their songs vocally, even after all these years." -Sunday Express

The Real Thing made history as the first Black British band to top the UK charts and their music remains as rich, soulful, and vocally immaculate as ever. Led by founding membersChris Amoo and Dave Smith, they perform era-defining classics including"You To Me Are Everything", "Can't Get By Without You" and "Can You Feel The Force?"- a signature blend of Philly soul, funk, disco and velvet harmonies that sound as fresh today as they did in the 1970s.

A night of British soul heritage at its finest.

Visit our Hine Bar and Heated Garden Terrace located on the 1st floor for pre & post-show drinks!
