Howard Jones
Electronic music pioneer Howard Jones has been a constant presence on the international touring scene for the past four decades, playing live in a number of different configurations including intimate solo shows and dates with his full high-tech band set-up. He first burst upon the contemporary music scene in 1983, with his very English songwriting and pioneering synthesizers with “New Song”. His first two albums Human’s Lib and Dream Into Action were worldwide hits. Human’s Lib reached #1 in 1984 in the UK and featured the hits “New Song,” and “What Is Love?” In 1985, Jones released the follow-up, Dream Into Action, which quickly became a Top Ten Platinum album in the United States and featured the smashes: “Things Can Only Get Better,” “Life In One Day,” “No One Is To Blame,” and “Like to Get To Know You Well.” Howard Jones has sold upwards of 10 million albums worldwide and continues to make new music and tour the world.
ABC
ABC has enjoyed a glittering career to date. Very definitely one of several groups who came along and kick-started the Eighties with their own brand of pop for a ‘new decade’. On its release in May 1982, their debut album The Lexicon of Love crashed straight into the UK album charts at number one. A ground-breaking collection of modern love songs. Showcasing the hits songs “Tears Are Not Enough,” “Poison Arrow,” “The Look Of Love” and “All Of My Heart.” With a majestic production from the legendary Trevor Horn, it remains a classic to this day, and voted by many as the best British album of the decade. To date, ABC have released nine studio albums: The Lexicon Of Love, Beauty Stab, How To Be A Zillionaire, Alphabet City, Up, Abracadabra, Skyscraping, Traffic and The Lexicon of Love II.
