Event information

The legendary Omar Lyefook MBE is without doubt one of the greatest soul music talents the United Kingdom has produced in the last 40 years. If anyone has doubts about that, then they might want to consider the list of legendary artists who happily line up to collaborate with him musically, including Stevie Wonder, Lamont Dozier, the late Angie Stone, Leon Ware, Robert Glasper and Erykah Badu - through to the current crop of cutting-edge music makers such as Giggs.

Omar's career is a testament to his enduring talent and influence. First gaining international attention via that signature hit,There's Nothing Like This, which launched his series of standout solo albums, collaborations with both legendary artists like , and a catalogue of side projects spanning decades, Omar has consistently evolved his sound while staying true to his roots.

That approach continues in 2027, after celebrating his 40th anniversary as a recording artist with the release of his 9th studio album, Brighter The Days, which has been lauded to be his most self-assured, well rounded, eclectic, and continues to highlight his trademark vocals and songwriting. His unique, instantly identifiable touches always result in nothing but memorable music and further augments his multi-generational, worldwide appeal as new generations of fans continue to discover Omar’s timeless sound. Often tagged ‘neo soul’ or even ‘acid jazz’-the truth is Omar is his own one-man genre, as this latest album attests.

“When I grow up I wanna be like Omar .”Stevie Wonder
