Everything - The Real Thing Story

This gives the true account of Real Things rise to fame, which will appeal to all of their fans.

Furthermore, it gives a great insight into the music industry across 3 decades, from the 70's.

Thoroughly enjoyable. There's more hits than you will remember too.

I've been a Real Thing fan since the 1970s, and have seen then hundreds of times across the UK. Over the years they have lost two of their members, but they keep performing - as good today as they've always been. I knew quite a lot about their history beforehand, but this new film opened my eyes to the appalling racism and prejudice they suffered in their early days. It's a very powerful film, full of emotion and heartache. Ray Lake (who sang falsetto in the band) was emotionally tortured throughout his short life. But his tragedy is counterbalanced with humour, love and beautiful music. To people who think they know everything about British music already - you really don't. Finally, now, we have a film which properly addresses what it was like to be a black performer in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Superb stuff and extremely moving - right from the opening credits onwards. I saw it on the big screen in London and can't wait to see it again.

Amazing film with great interviews by the band and their friends. A rollercoaster of emotions throughout as viewers are transported back to the 1970's and then right back to present day with a wealth of footage showing the struggle the band have had over the years - but made it through to be one of the most successful British black bands . A must for any music fan. Very enjoyable

What can I say! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I was transported back to the carefree, uncomplicated days of 1976 but left wishing maybe I had known more about the struggles the band had faced.

I was delighted to put on a screening of Everything at our local Erin arts Centre in Port Erin, Isle of Man. The reception and feedback by all the attendees has been fantastic. Simon Sheridan has done a great job in putting the film together and we had the pleasure of him and his colleague Mark presenting and hosting a Q&A session at the end. I have to admit that I shed a few tears when Gail Lake was talking about Alan Lake and at the end with the tribute to Eddie Amoo. This is a must see Real Life movie. Roy - RSPromotions
