Omar

Event information

“When I grow up I wanna be like Omar”, said Stevie Wonder, and it’s easy to hear why. For over forty years, Omar Lye-Fook MBE has been the quiet architect of British soul, blending jazz, funk, R&B, disco and Latin grooves into music that’s sophisticated yet deeply soulful.

His breakthrough track “There’s Nothing Like This” became a British soul landmark, admired by artists from Erykah Badu to Common, and he’s worked alongside legends such as Leon Ware, Lamont Dozier and Stevie himself. Awarded an MBE for services to music, Omar’s voice glides from velvet lows to a falsetto fine as silk, earning him praise as “the original nu-classic soul guvnor”, in the words of Trevor Nelson.

Live, Omar is pure magic: a master of rhythm, nuance and groove. Join us at Boisdale and discover why true soul fans still say there’s nothing like this.
