The Real Thing
The Brand New Day Tour - Plus Richie Sampson (Soul Kinda Wonderful)
Smooth. Charming. Swoon-worthy harmonies.
The Real Thing are back on tour with original vocalists Chris Amoo and Dave Smith!
The group are embarking on a tour to promote ‘A Brand New Day’, their first new original album in 44 years which reached No 3 in Amazon best sellers.
If you enjoyed The Real Thing’s classic hits like ‘You To Me Are Everything’, ‘Can’t Get By Without You’ and ‘Can You Feel The Force’ then you’ll love ‘Hang On Never Let Go’ from the new album.
The Real Thing first enjoyed success in the 70s and 80s with the above Top 10 singles. However, The Real Thing’s earlier music has stood the test of time, receiving regular airplay on major radio stations and generating at least a million streams on Spotify alone each month.
In 2020 they released a hit film ‘Everything’ which played in cinemas across the country and aired on BBC 4. Their Greatest Hits Album followed which made the official National Album charts and reached No 2 in the Amazon download charts.
