The UK’s No.1 Drifters Tribute Show
Get ready to be transported back to the golden age of soul and Motown as Soul Kinda Wonderful bring their award-winning Drifters Show to Boisdale of Canary Wharf.
Fronted by the charismatic Richie Sampson - who himself performed alongside former Drifters legends Ray Lewis, Billy Lewis, Butch Leak and Roy Hemmings - this acclaimed group captures the true essence of the original icons.
With silky-smooth harmonies, slick choreography and all the timeless hits, they breathe new life into Drifters classics including:
- Under the Boardwalk
- Save the Last Dance for Me
- Up on the Roof
- Kissing in the Back Row of the Movies
The show also pays heartfelt tribute to the greats who shaped the sound - Ben E. King, Clyde McPhatter, and Johnny Moore - with soulful renditions of “Spanish Harlem” and the unforgettable “Stand By Me.”
A night of nostalgia, rhythm and dancing - Soul Kinda Wonderful promise an evening that will have you singing, swaying, and smiling from start to finish.
