A Night of Orchestral Brilliance
This beautifully designed programme serves as a permanent record of an evening led by the incomparable McKinley Jackson. As the baton dropped, the Hammersmith Eventim Apollo was transformed into a sanctuary of lush strings and driving percussion, recreating the signature wall of sound that defined a generation. Inside, you’ll find:
-
Behind-the-Scenes Insights: Delve into the preparation for this massive tribute to Dexter Wansel and the legendary house band MFSB (Mother Father Sister Brother).
-
Artist Profiles: Exclusive features on the night’s stellar lineup of special guests, including the velvet-voiced Jean Carne, the iconic Shirley Jones, and the soulful Terri Wells.
-
Contemporary Soul Stars: Tribute highlights featuring Cornell C.C. Carter, Angelo Starr, and Jamiroquai's Matt Johnson, detailing how they brought modern energy to these timeless classics.
Quality Craftsmanship
Mirroring the elegance of the music itself, the programme features a striking gold-and-earth-toned cover, embossed with the iconic TSOP heart logo. Printed on premium, heavy-duty glossy stock, every page is designed to last as long as the melodies themselves. From the stunning photography capturing the artists mid-performance to the detailed setlists that had the audience dancing in the aisles, no detail has been spared.
More Than Just a Booklet
This is a piece of music history. As the official programme endorsed by Jazz FM, SoulMotion, and the Hammersmith Eventim Apollo, it marks a significant milestone in the 2026 soul calendar. It also celebrates the 40th anniversary (1986–2026) legacy of these soul-stirring productions, making it a true collector's item for those who understand that "Philly Soul" is more than a genre, it’s a feeling.
"The music was grand, the voices were legendary, and the memories are now yours to keep."
