Level 42
To date, Level 42 have released 14 studio albums, 7 live albums, and 6 compilation albums, had 18 top 40 singles, including Lessons in Love, Something About You, Leaving Me Now, Running in the Family, and Hot Water, sold out Wembley Arena for a total of 21 nights and sold in excess of 30 million albums worldwide. In short they proved to be one of the biggest British bands of the 1980s, and recent reissues as a major format has seen a host of re-masters and releases from Universal Music, Studio Hamburg, and River Records among others. In 2001 Mark King acquired the rights to the name ‘Level 42’ and took the band back out on the road again where they continue to win over audiences where their unique sound and virtuosity as instrumentalists remains an inspiration to young players the world over.

Heaven 17
The brainchild of Martyn Ware and born from the collapse of the original Human League, 80's synth pioneers Heaven 17 have stood the test of time and been an influence on the future of modern music for over thirty years. Their debut 1981 album, 'Penthouse And Pavement', was, and remains, a modern classic. Glenn Gregory and Martyn continue to perform the hits from their overwhelming back catalogue, including 'Temptation' and '(We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thang', along with unveiling their newer material.

Haircut 100
Of all pop’s shining, fiery comets, Haircut 100 burnt brightly, gave off heat, changed the landscape, and then, as fast as they appeared, were gone, leaving many happy memories. For 18 months or so in the early 1980s, Haircut did their thing. Who can forget songs as joyous and memorable as Fantastic Day, Love Plus One and Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl) and the accompanying album, the mighty, flirty and flighty Pelican West. It was already platinum-certified in the UK only three months after release. The album spent 11 consecutive weeks in the British Top 10 and twice reached No. 2. It also charted in the US, Australia and beyond. “Haircut 100 were a revelation,” Mickey McCarter wrote for Parklife DC about the band’s show at Columbus Athenaeum in 2024. “Nick Heyward and company delivered these tunes with an upbeat boyish charm that had everyone in the venue feeling good . . . It was truly remarkable to see Haircut 100 in action. Here’s to hoping these Englishmen tour American venues again in the near future.” Well, even in today’s somewhat crazy world, wishes can still come true. Haircut 100 are returning, basking in the moment, revelling in rekindled friendships, emboldened by new material, their catalogue of hits sounding better each play and ready to take the show back on the road.
