From Gold to Rio
A tribute to Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran
Saturday 30 May
Two of the UK's most iconic bands will be brought to life in one power-packed show!
With over 20 top 10 hits, the show will feature 2 hours of non-stop classics including Gold, Rio, True, The Reflex, to name just a few - guaranteed to leave everyone wanting more!
So, if you’re a Duranie, a Spandie, a Wild Boy or a Soul Boy, then this is something you really shouldn't miss!
Performed by musicians with over 30 years' professional experience, this show features excellent vocals, tight harmonies, a powerhouse rhythm section and an infectious sense of fun.
Chris Clark who portrays Simon le Bon has been a professional musician for nearly 20 years. Bearing a striking likeness to Simon he is also a fabulous "sound-alike".
Lee James is widely recognised as the most authentic performer to Tony Hadley, playing across the UK and Europe for over 10 years. He's performed with Tony on various occasions, including BBC's The One Show and is endorsed by Gary Kemp and Tony himself.
