Headlining the event is one half of 80’s synth legends Erasure, Andy Bell.

Having sold more than 20 million records worldwide with Erasure, Bell has also enjoyed a remarkable solo career singing as his alter-ego Torsten, a character he first played at the Fringe in 2014.

Also there will be Level 42, so classics and favourites such as Lessons in Love, Something About You and Running in the Family are sure to get an airing.

Daughter of 50’s rocker Marty, Kim Wilde made her name with her debut single Kids In America in 1980, she too will be on the bill as will Shalamar, expect to be dancing to I Can Make You Feel Good and A Night To Remember.
