DUST-OFF those dancing shoes and spread the word far and wide – Martin Kemp – will be taking to the decks and setting the coordinates strictly for the 1980s. Having sold-out countless shows all across the UK already, his ‘Back to the 80s’ is a club night that’s quickly becoming the stuff of legend.
As the hitmaker behind ‘Gold’, ‘True’ and countless other classics, it’s safe to say Martin is something of an expert when it comes to the trailblazing hits of that unforgettable decade in pop music. Fast forward to the 2020’s and Martin’s ‘Back To The 80s’ DJ show proves those timeless songs have lost none of their lustre. Expect an electrifying journey soundtracked by pop’s finest pedigree, from Duran Duran to Chaka Khan, George Michael to Michael Jackson, Spandau Ballet and beyond.
With a reputation for huge singalongs and an ecstatic atmosphere all night long, press and public alike have been praising this show, with the Express & Star hailing: “It could have been a school disco back in the 80’s – with the added bonus of a bar and the man spinning the hits being a member of one of the biggest pop bands of that decade… fantastic.”
Promising one of the biggest 80s night to hit the town all year, Martin says of the show:
“These shows will be a lot of fun and the ultimate return to the 80s. Music is everyone’s life soundtrack and transports us all to the best times of our lives – I think we all need that right now!… Expect one of the most euphoric nights you’ve had since the 80s.”
Alongside his famous role as bassist in the iconic new wave outfit Spandau Ballet who have sold millions of records worldwide, Martin is also a recognised TV personality. Most recently seen on the hit documentary ‘The Kemps: All Gold’ which was broadcast over the Christmas period, Kemp has also made notable appearances on Channel 4’s Goggle Box with his Capital Radio DJ son Roman, Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls, plus Martin and Roman’s Sunday morning TV show.
Martin Kemp continues to have a truly distinguished career. He has also played lead roles in likes of The Krays and Eastenders, plus Starring in Gary Barlow`s Let it Shine, and most recently The Masked Singer alongside his wife Shirlie. At the end of last year Martin also released his music memoir “Ticket to the World: My 80s Story”, a joyous, nostalgic celebration of 80s culture from one man at the centre of it all, which touched on the New Romantics, Spandau Ballet, Live Aid and beyond.
80s fashion for the night is an absolute must, so don’t forget to dig out those leg warmers, shoulder pads and other stylistic stunners that helped you stand out from the pack in that iconic era. Fancy Dress is very much welcome.
With the biggest and best 1980s hits at his finger-tips, join Martin for a night of time-travel and top tunes all night long.
