Band On The Wall
Omar / Thabo & The Real Deal / DJ Chris Jam
A night of glorious music as Band On The Wall welcomes the man commonly credited as the father of UK Neo Soul to its stage, the one and only Omar, with support from Thabo & The Real Deal, followed by a soul party with DJ Chris Jam keeping it soulful on the decks till late. And yes, before you ask, THAT Omar!
Touring in anticipation of his seventh studio album ‘The Man‘, Omar has been one of the major voices on international soul scene for over two decades. With six albums to his name – and over half a million record sales along the way, his massive and much-loved hit ‘There’s Nothing Like This‘ announced the arrival of a major new talent when it smashed it way through UK Singles Chart back in 1991. Encapsulating what was to become the new sub-genre of soul, his fresh sound combined Latin, funk, reggae, soul, jazz and orchestral arrangements and established him as a major player on the neo soul scene.
Always pushing the boundaries of soul music, over the years he’s worked with artists as diverse as Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Kele Le Roc, Angie Stoneand Common. His recent album ‘Sing (If You Want It)‘ is considered to be a modern soul classic. In 2006, the Urban Music Awards presented Omar with the Best Neo Soul Act and Outstanding Achievement Awards. In 2011 he was nominated as Best UK R&B/Soul Act t the MOBOs and this year he received an MBE for his outstanding services to music.
Touring on the back of forthcoming album ‘The Man‘ (featuring guest artists Zed Bias, King P, Dru & Perez and Live Tropical Fish), B.O.T.W. are delighted to welcome this major name in British Soul to the venue. Support tonight features the wonderful voice and fresh soul sound of Thabo and the Real Deal.

Matt & Phreds
Samuel C. Lees
Samuel C. Lees has emerged as one of the UK’s most exciting and entertaining Gypsy guitar players. Samuel’s fusing of both the smooth melodic style of Django Reindhardt and the fire and flair of modern gypsy guitar players such as Jimmy Rosenberg and Joscho Stephen surpasses convention and crosses boundaries.
Samuel’s performances combine an eclectic mix of Gypsy standards, Swing 42 and Djangoligy, (and modern songs such as Valerie by the Zutons and Wishing Well by Free) and his own original compositions. The music of Django Reinhardt inspired the duo to commit their talents to breakdown the “jazz barrier” wanting to share and promote Gypsy Swing with many other talented players across the globe. This love of music inspired the group to approach songs that are outside the gypsy jazz era. Samuel C. Lees
