The Original
“For us, 1980’s was probably the greatest era of music of all time, and we want to keep it alive”
SOME HISTORY
Back To The 80’s was formed nearly seven years ago. Our intention was to bring to life the music we had grown up with. The songs every 80’s fan would want to hear, re-created in a way that was faithful to the original. We also knew that we didn’t want to concentrate on one particular genre, it was a chance to play Rock, Pop, New Wave, Ska, Reggae, Disco and Electronic music in one show.
THE SHOW
It’s a one-of-a-kind, ever-evolving and interactive show. Live instrumentation plus superb vocals bring the 1980’s classics to life in a slick, colourful and entertaining way. The show is highly choreographed plus you can also expect a loth of audience participation. Celebrating the artistes and their songs. A huge party.
“IT’S NOT JUST ANOTHER 80’S SHOW”
We wanted the show to look like we had just stepped out of the ‘Top Of The Pops’ studio. So stadium grade lighting, lasers and effects have become a huge part of the experience. We also like to use video effects that we project onto walls and screens which are carefully synced to the music. The costumes are also just as important. Most of our costumes have been hand-made and are almost identical to what you would have seen in the 80’s.
Back To The 80’s have been together now for over a decade. They are professional musicians and are completely dedicated to making your event a success. Our experience covers Festivals, Holiday Parks, Social Clubs and private parties.. We have even had our own Christmas Show at the world famous Circus Tavern for three years running.
Music from the 1980’s has a huge pull for venues. It makes a great theme night and most of their customers will get into the spirit and come dressed in their best 80’s clothes. This has a great knock-on effect on social media for the client.
