Tony Hadley
Tony Hadley fronted 80s New Romantic band Spandau Ballet, earning himself the accolade of being one of pop music’s greatest vocalists. The band had numerous chart-topping singles and albums all over the world, including the epic Through the Barricades and, of course, the international number one True and the unofficial London Olympics theme Gold.
By the mid-80s they were world-wide superstars, but relationships cracked and the band split in 1990. Despite two well-documented reunions, Tony has now left the band permanently and returned to his successful solo career, writing, recording and performing.
Nearly 40 years on from the beginning of his Spandau career, Tony’s unmistakeable voice still brims with passion and urgency, as it first did all those years ago. His highly anticipated 2018 solo album, Talking to the Moon, became BBC Radio 2’s Album of the Week and the first single, Tonight Belongs to Us, was Single of the Week. In 2022, Tony embarked on his 40th Anniversary Tour, performing shows across the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan and Italy.
Tony Hadley’s Hampton Pool debut is set to be an iconic mix of Spandau Ballet classics combined with his popular solo hits.

City Funk Orchestra
Fronted by some of Britain’s finest soul singers, City Funk Orchestra delivers a dance floor banquet for lovers of the sounds of an unsurpassable era of soul/funk music aristocracy – Chaka Khan, Gap Band, Luther Vandross, SOS Band, Alexander O’Neal, Sister Sledge, Michael Jackson, Earth Wind and Fire, and many more.
Originating with a weekly band residency in an exclusive City of London nightclub, City Funk Orchestra soon spread its reach with regular appearances in the capitals’ mainstream music venues and on to festivals in UK and Europe, firmly establishing itself as the finest and most exciting dance-oriented soul/funk band in town. Expect pumping dance-floor specialities with a sprinkling of cheek-to-cheek soul ballads. True funk is guaranteed!
What they said
“What a band! What energy and groove!” – Gary Stevenson, legendary UK music producer.
“They really are a party on legs” – Steve Jenner, Musicriot.co.uk.
