The Three original vocalists from The Real Thing, Chris Amoo, Eddie Amoo and Dave Smith, who had three million selling hit singles in the 70s, will be in Hastings on 24th July.
To quote from the Guinness Book of Hit Records “they were the UKs best selling black group of the late 1970s and only fellow Liverpudlians, The Beatles and Frankie Goes To Hollywood, have had more singles in the all time top 100”.
Still going strong in the 21st Century, The Real Thing has definitely earned their reputation as the UKs No. 1 soul band. Eight on stage, performance includes all their top ten hits, plus a medley of classic covers from Kool & The Gang “Ladies Night” and “Celebration”, “Good Times” by Chic and from McFadden & Whitehead “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now”, or for club dates the vocalists can perform independently on playback singing live vocals over backing tracks, and in this respect they have definitely earned the reputation of the best live playback act you can possibly hope to book.
See them live at the Phoenix Arts Centre, Parker Road in Hastings plus Dj's Clive Rayson and Dug Chant on Saturday 24th July 8pm-1am. Tickets are £12.50 in advance from the Phoenix Arts Centre, Tourist Information Centre, town centre Hastings, Tel: 01424 451111 or for more info: 0845 678 3340 or 07775 969 423 www.soul-survivors.co.uk
