This IS the 80's!

They  say that  "The Eighties"  is coming back in vogue again,  but for these guys, "The Eighties"  never  went anywhere  in  the first place!     It    was   never   a  problem   to  try  and  locate   appropriate   stage    wear like   fluorescent     sweat   bands,  or   white   socks,   -   this  lot had never stopped wearing them!

Deciding on which  songs   to   cover was  going  to be no more  of   a deal either,  as all of the  songs   chosen just    happened    to   be    on  tapes, jammed in  the  cassette players   of  each   of their   respective   Ford  Capri's and XR3i's !

Reproduction of  the songs, did  take some looking at though.  These   were    going    to   be  strong  tracks,    and  with  original  production  courtesy  of   the   likes of  Trevor Horn,   live   re - creation did take    some   thought   and  indeed   work.   However,  this  crowd are  of  course  from the  same    stable     as    the    highly      sought     after  act , who  have  maintained  their   reputation  for  excellence      since establishing   themselves  in the UK  in 1993. 

Therefore,   by   adopting   the   same   attitude  and   indeed formulas  to re-creating the original  sounds  of   the 80's anthems to be covered,  the music is needless to say first class. 

This  is  not   your  average   80's   cover  band  experience,  not least  because playing  along  to   the original    record   has   never been, and  nor  should  it   ever  become    an    option   for  acts   at    this  level,  (guilty parties know who they are),   but  because this act has already set the standard. 

It   has  already  dictated  what  peoples expectations should be, and delivers it to them , before they've even had the  chance to merely take whatever they're given, which sadly goes on in this industry all to often.

The songs performed  by  "The   Ultimate    80's Extravaganza",    are all popular,   up-tempo big selling 80's tracks.    Check out the list on the right hand side   of the songs performed.

It   is  also  worth  pointing    out    that   each   song   is    performed   in   its  entirety,  - something that you may   well  have taken  for granted,  however  it was felt  that  this   ought  to be   highlighted,   as certain   other   80's  shows,  experience   a  problem   in  being able  to deliver more  than  a  verse  and  a   chorus,   of  each song!     Anyway, not so here. Full   intros, verses, choruses,  bridges,  middle    eights,   solos,   key  changes,  outros endings, the lot,   plus   the odd   costume   change  of  course,  puts   this   act  head and shoulder pads above its main competitors. As stated  before,   this act do not beleive in short cuts.   If the song is good enough to perform, it gets the full treatment.

This IS the 80's.
