GET READY FOR THE ULTIMATE 80S PARTY THIS WEEKEND

BBC RADIO 2: SOUNDS OF THE 80S

 

 

GET READY FOR THE ULTIMATE 80S PARTY

Gary Davies Takes His Saturday Night Radio Show On Tour With Mastermixes and Dancers

Celebrating the greatest decade in music, the immersive show will feature Gary, together with his producer Johnny Kalifornia, and some specially curated Mastermixes. The amazing Sounds of the 80s dancers will get you on your feet recreating classic scenes from 80s films and videos.  The show also features a fabulous set design from the 80s.

Gary says, “I’m so excited to finally be able to bring the magic of Sounds of the 80s live on tour across the UK – as we all know, the 80s is the best decade. Expect Anthems, Mastermixes, Sloppy Bits, fabulous dancers and the biggest 80s party ever!”

This massive party will feature 80s anthems from artists such as Wham!, Queen, Prince, Madonna, Whitney, and more. The Sounds of the 80s live show debuted at Stoke-on-Trent’s Regent Theatre last year to a packed crowd of 80s fans dressed up to the nines in lycra leg warmers, headbands, and Frankie and Wham! statement T-shirts.

 

 

NEWTON FAULKER

 

 

Newton Faulkner is a man in motion. Across the songwriter’s freewheeling fifteen-year career, the sole constant has been his urge to tear down what came before, shed his creative skin and outrun industry dogma. Already, that rebel spirit has seen Faulkner’s music pinball from the outer-limits acoustic sorcery of 2007’s UK#1 debut, Hand Built By Robots, through an acclaimed catalogue that takes in rock, pop, folk, soul and beyond.

The audience can expect a special and intimate performance from the multi-platinum selling, Brit nominated guitar virtuoso.
