Tickets are on sale now.
The Blow Monkeys epitomised the glamour of mid-80s pop. Frontman Robert Howard (aka Dr. Robert), was charismatic, camera-friendly and clever. While quite clearly Robert’s band, the Blow Monkeys were also gifted three immensely talented musicians in bassist Mick Anker, saxophonist Neville Henry and drummer Tony Kiley. Their debut, 1984’s ‘Limping For A Generation’ landed in 1984, followed by ‘Forbidden Fruit’. ‘Animal Magic’ in 1986 was the breakthrough, courtesy of ‘Digging Your Scene’ which delivered success both sides of the Atlantic, and remains their calling card.
Often described as “The Temptations in ripped jeans”, The Christians’ self-titled album was released 38 years ago in 1987. The critically acclaimed album featured their first 5 hit singles, and adorned the brand new CD shelves of most UK households. After nearly four decades of making music, Garry still fronts the band with his current line up who are relative newcomers with ‘only’ 20 years in the band! The Christians have always loved live performance and have toured the world, these October dates are a chance to catch a great band, delivering hit after hit from an incredible catalogue.
Don’t miss The Blow Monkeys and The Christians, live in the UK in 2025!
