The Titans of Soul

Table reservations from 6pm Live Music: 9pm "A world class celebration of soul... not to be missed!" - Jools Holland, Boisdale Patron of Music This is soul music played by people who have lived inside it. The Titans of Soul brings together a heavyweight line-up of musicians and vocalists whose credits run through decades of funk, disco, R&B and classic soul. At the centre is drummer and musical director Billy Osborne, known for more than 33 years with Alexander O'Neal and working with artists including Rod Stewart, Evelyn "Champagne" King and Kashif. Around him is a band with real pedigree: Ernie McKone on bass, Nick Gilmore and Eban Brown on keys, and Angelo Starr on guitar and vocals. Starr, the younger brother of Edwin Starr, has toured internationally and performed at major venues including Madison Square Garden, the Royal Albert Hall and Wembley Arena.  The vocal line-up brings its own firepower, with Emil Ogu, Andy Mitchell Smith and Gee Morris taking on a set built from some of the greatest soul and dancefloor records ever written. Expect "What's Going On", "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", "Car Wash", "Ain't No Stopping Us Now", "Get Down on It" and "September". The appeal here is not just the songs, although the songs are enormous. It is the way they are played: tight rhythm section, sharp keys, full-bodied vocals and a band that knows exactly where the pocket is. From Motown and Philly soul to funk, disco and 80s club classics, this is a night built for people who want the real mechanics of soul music, not a polite imitation.
