Table reservations from 6pm | Live Music: 9pm “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. Visit our Hine Bar and Heated Garden Terrace located on the 1st floor for pre & post-show drinks!

Omar Lyefook MBE is, without doubt, one of the greatest soul music talents the United Kingdom has ever produced.
A unique and original voice, accompanied with musicianship and song-writing talent, establish Omar as a true pioneer in British soul. A precursor to the neo-soul and acid jazz movements, he outlasted the peak of these tags to continue to deliver his own inimitable brand of soul music.
Deep baritone vocals combine with multi-instrumental productions to create beautiful, soulful music that's inspired collaborations with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Leon Ware, Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, and Estelle.
Omar received an MBE in 2012 for services to the British Music Industry. The father of neo-soul has a career spanning over 3 decades, garnering wide respect within the worlds of soul, jazz, funk and R&B.
