Tony Hadley, the former front man of the 80’s synth pop supergroup Spandau Ballet, was at the Royal Concert Hall on Tuesday night to deliver a laid back evening of timeless classics as part of his Big Swing Tour.
In 1979 five youngsters from Islington formed new wave band Spandau Ballet and went on to release seven studio albums, and win such awards as Q Award, a Brit and an Ivor Novello, making them one of the most successful bands around.
I will add for full disclosure that the primary push for me in attending this gig was to see the support. There is something delightful in seeing a band you like catch a break, and The Vanities fully deserve one, as their sound is one of the most interesting coming out of the Cardiff scene in recent times.
The power-dressing quintet with their brand of croony – sometimes dramatic often soppy – electronic music seem to perfectly encapsulate the notorious decade of excess.
After a well-received opening set by local Tim Nelson, a man with music running through his veins as much as anyone ever had, it was ex-Spandau Ballet frontman Tony Hadleys turn to tread the historic boards of The Astor Theatre.
