Following sell-out shows in Leeds and London, Cherry Red presents volume one in a planned series of 80s Classical albums – showcasing iconic voices and songs in breath taking new studio versions performed by the original artists.
Produced by Steve Anderson (Kylie / Steps / Take That), arranged and conducted by Cliff Masterson (Little Mix / Josh Groban / Tom Walker), ‘80s Classical Volume 1’ comprises 13 brand new studio re-workings of the biggest hits of the 80s, plus a bonus remix by synth wave maestro L’Avenue.
The 80s Classical show made its debut in 2019 at the Opera North In The City festival, in Millennium Square, Leeds. Now in its fourth year, having hosted a line-up of appearances from Jimmy Somerville, Belinda Carlisle, Kim Wilde, Heaven 17, Go West, Nick Heyward, Howard Jones, Hue & Cry and John Parr, the brand makes the transition from the stage to the studio for their debut album release.
Featured artists Nik Kershaw, Johnny Hates Jazz and Carol Decker deliver extraordinary symphonic recordings of their classic hits, alongside show favourites from Adetoun Ayoola, Gavin Conder, Cliff Masterson, and a dreamy back-to-the-future L’Avenue / Nik Kershaw remix.
