Boy George & Culture Club

Boy George & Culture Club

Since their inception in 1981 Culture Club have sold more than 50 million records worldwide, lead by their classic hits, “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,” “Karma Chameleon,” and “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya.”

The group is fronted by british singer/songwriter Boy George, who is universally recognized as one of music’s iconic artists. George was recently presented with the Ivor Novello lifetime achievement award in 2015 for his contribution to the music industry.

Roy Hay, Mikey Craig and Jon Moss make up the remaining original line up set to tour.

Their recent shows have garnered rave reviews from the press since reforming: Culture Club is… “a true show band, with a master at it’s center. If you like to go out, if you like to feel good, if you like to be transported by music, if you are in search of authenticity in a land inundated by fake,… then this is your gig!” – critic Bob Lefsetz (review of 2015 show at The Greek Theatre)

The Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey

For nearly three decades fans of the Thompson Twins have been waiting for more live performances from one of the most iconic bands of the eighties. Now The Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey, with a new band, will be touring and performing the Thompson Twins hits.

Following a successful first festival performance in the UK in August 2014 in front of 20,000 people, Tom Bailey went straight into a highly successful 17 date headlining tour of the USA. The US tour included Tom making a special guest appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and playing to a 4000 strong audience at LA’s legendary Greek Theatre.

The Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey features Tom Bailey on vocals, keyboards, guitar, harmonica and percussion. His all female band features Charlotte Raven on vocals and keyboards, Amanda Kramer (The Psychedelic Furs/Information Society) on vocals and keyboards and Paulina Szczepaniak on electronic drums.

The Thompson Twins had huge hits on both sides of the Atlantic. Songs such as “Hold Me Now,” “Doctor Doctor,” “You Take Me Up” and “Love On Your Side” provided the soundtrack for so many people’s lives worldwide in the mid-eighties. In 1985 The Thompson Twins played “Hold Me Now” at Live Aid in Philadelphia and also performed the Beatles “Revolution” with Madonna on backing vocals and Nile Rodgers on guitar.

Says Tom: “It’s so good to reconnect with the audience who loved these songs the first time around, as well as with new fans of the music. That’s what gets me on stage every time.”
