Tony Hadley ft Martin Fry and ABC, The Anvil, Basingstoke.
EIGHTIES pop frontmen Tony Hadley and Martin Fry went back to their futures when they brought the house down with a night of nostalgia.
The former Spandau Ballet lead singer teamed up with Martin and ABC to roll back the years for a night that had fans literally dancing in the aisles.
Keeping the customer satisfied was the name of the game - and the pop legends didn't disappoint.
During a pulsating two-hour set, Tony belted out hits including Gold, True, and Instinction. Covers too of Delilah and Elvis's You Were Always on My Mind were brilliant.
His personal favourite, Through the Barricades, sent fans on an emotional roller-coaster as the dark-suited crooner declared: "I never get tired of singing this."
Not to be outdone, Martin and ABC opened up with their classics, culled from The Lexicon of Love album, Poison Arrow, All of my Heart, The Look of Love and Tears are not Enough. When Smokey Sings brought one of the biggest cheers of the night.
If that wasn't enough the duo doubled up for a series of covers including Just Walk Away Rene, Signed, Sealed Delivered and Beautiful Balloon.
Then, most apt, the pair belted out Bryan Ferry's Let's Stick Together featuring Tony - who won reality TV show Reborn in the USA - on guitar!
You've Lost That Loving Feeling provided the encore and David Bowie's rocker Suffragette City rounded off a memorable night.
