The Real People Sunderland: the music and the local show
Chris and Tony Griffiths formed The Real People in Liverpool in 1988. Their early catalogue includes Window Pane, Open Up Your Mind and The Truth, and the band’s recordings and tours became part of the story of British guitar music in the years around Britpop. This Sunderland appearance puts the brothers and their songs in a pared-back format.
The acoustic billing is an important distinction from a full-band show. Rather than assuming the same arrangements or stage setup as an amplified gig, the focus here is on the two songwriters and how their material translates to a more stripped-back performance. No complete set list has been published for the date.

Patrick Gosling is also advertised for the Pop Recs evening. The 27 November date was rescheduled from 10 September, with the organiser stating that tickets bought for the original date remain valid. Anyone holding an earlier ticket should still check the latest instructions directly with the ticket provider before setting off.
Pop Recs hosts the show in Sunderland, with 7.30pm shown on the event listing. As always, confirm the final doors time, running order, admission conditions and any further changes via the organiser or venue’s official channels. The SoundBite listing links this specific date with the promoter profile. The advertised performance is a specific appearance by Chris and Tony rather than a full-band Real People concert. Anyone following the group’s tour dates should check the Sunderland booking separately, especially if they have tickets issued for the original September date.
