Head to the New Theatre for an Easter Sunday celebration with a soulful twist, joining legends of the genre for an uplifting concert. Formed in 1972, The Real Thing remain pioneers in UK soul, funk and dance music. Original members, Chris Amoo and Dave Smith are now celebrating over 45 incredible years in the music industry, and they’re still going strong, playing hundreds of gigs across the world.
Odyssey, one of the most successful soul/disco acts of their era, culminated in the early 1980s when they topped the charts with Use It Up And Wear It Out, scoring several other Top Ten hits in the UK and throughout the world. From their debut album emerged their first smash hit single - Native New Yorker, an international hit late in 1977. Steven Collazo continues (his mother) Lillian Lopez-Collazo's legacy, taking the 'odyssey' forward and further with an array of talented singers, musicians, DJs and producers.
