LineUp

British new wave band ABC, led by Martin Fry, gained fame in the early '80s with hits like "Poison Arrow" and "Look of Love." Known for their synth-driven pop and theatrical style, they topped charts with their debut album and found success on MTV and in the US market.
UB40, a reggae band formed in Birmingham, rose from working-class roots to global fame, selling 100M records. Known for hits like "Red Red Wine", they became icons in the genre.
The Boomtown Rats, formed in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland in 1975, fused punk energy and new wave style, gaining U.K. fame with hits like "I Don't Like Mondays." Fronted by Bob Geldof, known for global humanitarian efforts like Live Aid, they released notable albums, including *The Fine Art of Surfacing*. The band split in 1986, reunited in 2013, and dropped *Citizens of Boomtown* in 2020.
Nik Kershaw, born in the UK, burst into the '80s pop scene with hits like "Wouldn't It Be Good." He collaborated with Elton John, Sia, and wrote for Chesney Hawkes. Known for his unique voice, he still performs live.
Formed in 1970 in Toxteth, Liverpool, The Real Thing is Britain’s longest-established soul band. Known for hits like "You To Me Are Everything," they remain the UK's most successful black group. Dubbed "The Black Beatles," their distinct sound captivated fans. A 2019 documentary, “Everything – The Real Thing Story,” highlighted their career.
