ABC, Southbank Sinfonia, Anne Dudley

Following the acclaimed 30th anniversary concert last year in London, ABC will be taking “The Lexicon of Love” out on the road with a full Orchestra for three dates in March 2014

ABC will be playing all their greatest hits before performing ‘The Lexicon of Love’ in its entirety. They will be accompanied by Southbank Sinfonia and conducted by critically acclaimed musician and composer, Anne Dudley.

Mercury Records repackaged and re-released the band's 1982 debut album‘The Lexicon of Love’ in 2004 to critical acclaim, and the album was acknowledged as the greatest British pop LP of the decade. Martin Fry’s combination of sly northern wit and subversive intelligence, pop flamboyance and rock swagger, gold lame and lyrics that deal with treachery and regret adds to why it remains one of the 10 best albums of all time and still as contemporary as it was in the beginning.

These new shows follow the resounding success and critical acclaim of ABC’s performance of the album at The Royal Albert Hall in 2009 and at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane in December 2012.
