Every Sunday from 7 p.m., SOHO Restaurant & Bar at Marina Mall, Airport City, hands its stage to the Classyx Band, transforming what is often one of Accra’s quietest entertainment nights into an evening of live music, good food and vibrant socialising.
Dubbed Soul Sunday, the weekly event offers an alternative for people who are not quite ready to call it a weekend. Rather than allowing Sunday night to fade quietly into Monday, SOHO seeks to keep the energy alive, giving patrons a reason to step out, unwind and prepare for the week ahead on a high note.
At the heart of the experience is the Classyx Band, which delivers live performances built around a different retro theme each week. Moving across decades and musical genres, the band brings familiar sounds back to life while keeping each edition fresh and distinctive.
The rotating themes also give regular patrons something new to anticipate, ensuring that Soul Sunday is more than a repeat of the previous week’s entertainment.
From nostalgic favourites to timeless classics, the music creates an atmosphere that encourages guests to sing along, dance and reconnect with songs that have stood the test of time.
Music, however, is only part of the experience. SOHO’s multicultural fusion menu complements the entertainment, allowing guests to enjoy anything from shared plates and casual bites to a full dinner as the evening unfolds. The combination of live performances and dining makes the event suitable for those seeking a relaxed meal as well as patrons looking for a livelier night out.
The crowd reflects the variety of experiences the event offers. Young professionals looking to enjoy one last outing before the working week, groups of friends reluctant to let Sunday pass quietly, couples seeking an evening beyond the usual dinner date and returning Ghanaians looking for entertainment in the city all form part of its appeal.
For these patrons, Soul Sunday provides an opportunity to socialise and enjoy live music at a time when many of the city’s entertainment options have wound down for the weekend.
The concept also challenges the familiar perception of Sunday evening as a time to retreat home and prepare for Monday. By creating a regular platform for live entertainment, SOHO is making a case for a different approach: ending the weekend on a high rather than simply counting down the hours to the next working day.
