BRITISH soul legend Omar Lye-Fook MBE will be performing in Truro as part of his upcoming UK tour.

Running across May and June, the Brighter The Days tour will see Omar perform at venues nationwide, reconnecting with the spaces that continue to sustain live music communities and artist development across the UK. The tour includes a Truro date on Saturday, May 23 at Old Bakery.

A defining voice in British soul, Omar’s career spans four decades, with collaborations including Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Angie Stone, Leon Ware, Robert Glasper and Paul Weller.

First rising to prominence with his landmark single There’s Nothing Like This, Omar has carved out a sound that blends soul, jazz, funk, R&B and Caribbean influences into a genre entirely his own.

Celebrating 40 years as a recording artist, Omar’s Brighter The Days tour supports the release of his ninth studio album of the same name - a critically acclaimed project he describes as his “magnum opus”.

His latest album, released via Impressive Collective and BBE Music, has been widely praised as his most assured and expansive work to date - reaffirming Omar’s place as a singular voice in British music, whose influence continues to resonate across generations.

Touring exclusively through grassroots venues, the Brighter The Days run brings Omar back to the heart of local communities. A performer of effortless class and deep musicality, Omar’s live shows are a masterclass in groove, soul, and sincerity.

This performance is opportunity to experience a genuine British icon performing new material and timeless classics live. The tour is supported by Liveline, a vital funding initiative developed by Music Venue Trust in partnership with live music advocates Save Our Scene (SOS).
