Two of the best voices from the 80s are taking to the stage in Cornwall in February.

Between them Tony Hadley and Peter Cox had a stream of hits during the decade, as the lead singers of two memorable bands.

Tony Hadley's voice has graced some of the best love songs of all time including 'True' and 'Through The Barricades'. Hadley was lead singer with New Romantics Band Spandau Ballet.

Evolving from a school group, The Makers, the band formed in 1979 with a line-up comprising Gary Kemp, his brother Martin Kemp, Tony Hadley, John Keeble, and Steve Norman.

Spandau Ballet originally came to prominence as part of the new romantic scene revolving around a handful of fashionable London clubs.

During early 1980, they were filmed for a television documentary and soon after licensed their label through Chrysalis Records. Their powerful debut, the harrowing 'To Cut A Long Story Short' reached the UK Top 5.

With their kilts and synthesizers, it was easy to assume that the band were just part of a passing fashion.

The insistent "Chant Number 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On)" revealed a more interesting soul/funk direction, complete with added brass and a new image.

By 1983, the band had begun to pursue a more straightforward pop direction and pushed their lead singer as a junior Frank Sinatra.

The new approach was demonstrated most forcibly on the irresistibly melodic 'True', which topped the UK charts for several weeks. The album of the same name repeated the feat, while the follow-up 'Gold' reached number 2.

More recently Tony Hadley has been seen singing to the crowd in the hit TV show 'Reborn In The USA' along with Peter Cox.

Peter met Richard Drummie in 1982 but it was in 1985 when Go West finally cracked the charts, with debut single We Close Our Eyes reaching number four in the UK and reaching the US Top Ten.

Their self-titled debut album sold 1.5 million copies around the world and established the band as one of the biggest bands of the 80s, with hits like Call Me, Goodbye Girl and Don’t Look Down bringing them more success.

Their classic single The King of Wishful Thinking, which appeared on the soundtrack of the ultimate chick-flick Pretty Woman, also helped make sure the band would be one of the most successful UK bands in the US charts during the 1980s.

Following their huge success on the TV series “Reborn in the USA” and their sell-out date at Shepherds Bush Empire, Tony Hadley & Peter Cox return to Hall for Cornwall for one night only. The evening will feature Tony and Peter performing some of their bestknown material; the 80s hits, solo material, duets and songs from “Reborn in the USA”.
