Gary presents a special show LIVE from Stoke's Regent Theatre with live guests Clare Grogan of Altered Images and former Frankie Goes To Hollywood frontman Holly Johnson.

Formed in Glasgow in 1979, Altered Images with multi-talented frontwoman Clare Grogan were at the forefront of a new wave of Scottish pop that would dominate the 80s. Hits including 'I Could Be Happy', 'Don’t Talk To Me About Love' and 'Happy Birthday' lit up the charts, but they never lost their alternative edge. Clare Grogan and the band made a triumphant return in 2022 with their first album of new material in 39 years, 'Mascara Streakz', and a string of electric live dates. They've also just released the 'Clara Libre' EP, featuring Cuban versions of their classic 80s hits.

Liverpool’s finest, Holly Johnson with Frankie Goes To Hollywood, changed the pop landscape forever in 1984 with the release of their epic debut album, 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome', and four revolutionary singles - 'Relax', 'Two Tribes', 'The Power of Love' and 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome'. The Frankie success story continued with 1986’s 'Liverpool' and Holly rounded off the decade with his platinum-selling number one solo debut album, 'Blast'. Having headlined festivals this summer and following the release of his live album 'Unleashed From The Pleasuredome', now Holly Goes To Stoke with Sounds Of The 80s!

With a double dose of the Mastermix featuring the Sounds Of The 80s dancers, the biggest 80s tunes and, of course, your host Gary Davies, get ready for an unforgettable celebration of the best decade in music!
