Spokeswoman Sharon Thompson said: “The celebration of the return of live music continues at the Congress Theatre as British soul and funk group The Real Thing, with original vocalists Chris Amoo and Dave Smith, bring a great 70s party vibe to the stage with their live five-piece band on Saturday, June 5.

“The group are touring in 2021 off the back of the hit 2019 documentary movie Everything – The Real Thing Story recounting the lives of the four working-class boys from one of Liverpool’s toughest neighbourhoods and their rise to fame, which had been playing nationally in cinemas prior to the pandemic and was aired on BBC TV in August 2020.
