Loose Ends Homecoming Show – Celebrating 40th Anniversary of Slowdown
Saturday 21st November 2026
The Loose Ends Homecoming Show comes to the Broadway Theatre for a special one-night performance, celebrating 40 years of the iconic hit Slowdown and the enduring legacy of one of the UK’s most influential R&B bands.
Taking place on Saturday 21st November at 7:30pm, the concert marks a significant milestone in British music history, honouring a band that achieved international success with chart-topping releases in both the UK and the United States.
Formed in 1980 and widely regarded as pioneers of British soul, Loose Ends became the first UK R&B group to achieve a number one gold-selling album in the US, with hits such as Hanging on a String and Slowdown helping to define a generation of music.
Led by founding member Carl McIntosh, the group continues to perform with a strong live band line-up, delivering the signature sound that has influenced artists across soul, R&B and contemporary music. This homecoming performance carries particular significance, as McIntosh returns to perform in his local borough for the first time at the Broadway Theatre.
The concert promises a dynamic live experience, combining classic hits with the energy of a full band performance, creating an evening that appeals to long-time fans as well as new audiences. The event celebrates not only the band’s musical achievements but also their lasting cultural impact within British and global music.
With its blend of nostalgia, live performance and cultural significance, the Loose Ends Homecoming Show offers a memorable and celebratory night of music, marking a major anniversary for one of the UK’s most important soul acts.
