The Best of Hot Chocolate: with former lead singer Kennie Simon
A joyful celebration of one of Britain’s most loved bands.
The iconic sound of Hot Chocolate takes centre stage at Boisdale of Canary Wharf, as Kennie Simon celebrates 16 remarkable years as the band’s lead singer in this powerful and deeply authentic live show.
Kennie’s story is woven into the fabric of the music. A single invitation to stand in for Errol Brown at a show in Düsseldorf changed everything - launching a 16-year journey at the helm of one of the UK’s most successful bands.
These are the hits exactly as they were meant to be heard - performed by the man who fronted Hot Chocolate on stages around the world and carried their legacy into its final chapter. Listen to such iconic songs as:
- You Sexy Thing
- Every 1’s a Winner
- Emma
- It Started with a Kiss
Set within the glamorous surroundings of Boisdale of Canary Wharf, this special evening pairs iconic songs with award-winning cuisine, fine wines, premium whiskies and expertly crafted cocktails.
More than a concert, this is a heartfelt salute to a legendary catalogue - and a chance to relive the sound of Hot Chocolate in one of London’s most iconic live music venues.
