Just announced 80s Supergroup ABC will be headlining Oxjam at Matter October 16, O2 Arena London. Very definitely the number one group who came along and kick-started the Eighties with their own brand of pop for a ‘new decade. Their debut Album ‘The Lexicon of Love’, voted by many as the best British album of the decade crashed straight into the UK album charts at number one. ABC will be fronting Oxjam at Matter, showcasing their hits songs ‘Tears Are Not Enough’, ‘ Poison Arrow’, ‘The Look Of Love’ and ‘All Of My Heart’. Even some twenty seven years since “The Lexicon Of Love”, ABC audiences and the press all say that the energy and the vocals of the band today easily match what they put out back in the 80’s , giving audiences worldwide a great night of music and entertainment. Martin Fry the ‘..self-ironising pop genius is on top form..’NME and you will see him and the band in all their glory at Matter this October 16.
