THE Christians, Hue And Cry and Go West will revisit their 1980s hits at the Pavilion Theatre on November 2.

English pop duo Go West were formed in 1982 by lead vocalist Peter Cox and rhythm guitarist and back-up vocalist Richard Drummie.

Winners of the Best Newcomers tag at the 1986 Brit Awards, they charted with such singles as The King of Wishful Thinking, Call Me, Don't Look Down and Faithful, as well as their debut Top Five hit We Close Our Eyes.

Once dubbed “The Temptations in ripped jeans”, Liverpool band The Christians feed on protest, despair and even self-doubt in their socially aware soul, which first dented the complacent music scene of the late-Eighties with the hits Forgotten Town, Hooverville, When The Fingers Point, Ideal World, Born Again and their cover of Harvest For The World.

The band’s moniker came from the surname of the three brothers in the original line-up Garry, Russell and Roger Christian, and coincidentally it also was the middle name of songwriter/guitarist/keyboards player Henry Priestman.

Last year was the 25th anniversary of The Christians’ first album, a milestone they marked with the release of Speed Of Life.

Sophisticated pop duo Hue And Cry were formed by the Kane brothers, vocalist Pat and musician/producer Greg Kane, in 1983 in Coatbridge, Scotland.

Best known for their 1987 number six hit Labour Of Love, the brothers released their latest Hue And Cry album Hot Wire in March 2012.

Last year, they also appeared on Jools Holland’s BBC Radio 2 show, played Shipbuilding on that station’s Titanic memorial show and issued a compilation, A’s And B’s.
