T'PAU - SONGS & STORIES:
Friday 8th April at The Phoenix Theatre from 8pm
If you are a looking for a good night out in Blyth this Friday night then why not head down to The Phoenix Theatre on Beaconsfield Street to see T’Pau?!
T’Pau became one of the most successful and biggest selling bands of the 1980s with huge hits like 'China In Your Hand', 'Heart and Soul', 'Secret Garden', 'Road to our dream' and 'Valentine'.
Led by flame-haired singer Carol Decker, T’Pau rode the crest of a wave, enjoying a quadruple platinum number one hit with their debut album, ‘Bridge Of Spies‘.
After a brief hiatus, they reformed in 1998 and have been in high demand ever since. On their new Songs and Stories tour fans can look forward to hearing all of their biggest hits – as well as the stories behind them.
The tour coincides with the publication of Carol Decker’s autobiography, which will be published in January 2016. The story lifts the lid on the highlights and hang-ups of life in one of Britain’s most successful bands. Decker will tell stories from the book as she introduces some of the band’s biggest hits. She will also meet fans after the show to sign copies of the book and CD’s.
Fans can look forward to hearing music from throughout T’Pau’s career, including songs from their 2015 album, Pleasure and Pain. Decker will be performing stripped back and intimate versions of classics that have stood the test of time.
She said “This is something completely new. The fans can look forward to hearing all of the classic hits. But we’ll also be telling them the stories behind the songs. It’s going to be an amazing tour.”
