A VIRTUAL concert this showcase features some of the biggest stars of the 80s as Leeds comes together to ensure the music doesn’t stop.
Tonight - Friday, July 24, 2020 - 80s icons Jimmy Somerville, Belinda Carlisle, Go West and T’Pau’s Carol Decker should have all been performing live in Leeds, on Millennium Square, alongside the Orchestra of Opera North for the second instalment of 80s Classical.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis and the need for safe social distancing, the concert had to be postponed until its corresponding date in 2021.
But Leeds City Council didn’t want the date to go unmarked so have teamed up with the show producers to create the virtual mini-concert for music lovers featuring highlights from last year with performances by Jimmy Somerville, Howard Jones, Nik Kerhsaw, Johnny Hates Jazz and Carol Decker together with a selection of crowd-pleasing 80s favourites including; Toto’s Africa, The Jacksons’ Can You Feel it, and Eurythmics’ Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) all performed by the talented ensemble of backing vocalists, Bianca Claxton, Gavin Condor and Adetoun Anibi.
