Roy G. Hemmings

Roy has entertained audiences around the world with his easy, relaxed style and fabulous voice in a career that spans four decades and includes appearances in several Royal Variety shows and twice at The White House for the then president Bill Clinton.

As a highly respected artiste and singer he has a distinguished track record of fine stage craft. Roy enjoyed major success when he signed a recording deal with Magnet Records in the mid- seventies with the J.A.L.N. Band, one of the first bands to storm the British charts with the dance record, 'Disco Music, I Like It' produced by Pete Waterman.

After three well-received albums, the group disbanded and Roy launched his solo career. In 1997 Roy released his first solo album, 'No Afro, No Sequins, No Flares' to great critical acclaim.

He followed this in 1999 with his second solo album, 'All Talked Out' which includes a fine version of 'The Drifters' classic, 'Like Sister and Brother'.

The Family of Soul show includes the songs of Otis Reading, James Brown, Jackie Wilson, The O-Jays, and other Soul legends. Audiences enjoy a musical cavalcade of all-time greats: 'Higher and Higher', 'My Girl', 'Sitting on the Dock of the Bay', 'Under the Boardwalk', 'Stand By Me', 'Save the Last Dance for Me', and 'Love Train'.

The show is full of timeless songs performed with energy and sensitivity, creating emotions that touch the hearts of audiences everywhere.
