Chris Blackburn - 80s Night
Chris Blackburn’s unique and exciting 80s tribute act has been described as high energy up tempo, extremely visual and colourful and his 80s night is bringing back many great memories, as well as creating new ones. Live 80s electric drums and synthesizer feature in Chris’ act and he'll cover classics such as Van Halen’s Jump, Phil Collins’ In The Air Tonight, Gloria Estefan’s The Rhythm Is Gonna Get YA, Adam and the Ants Ant Music, Cars by Gary Numan, Enola Gay by O.M.D, Shout by Tears for Fears and Prince’s Purple Rain, and many more.
Chris creates his own backing tracks in his studio, leaving off certain instruments and performs them live in his own 80s showman style. Chris’ 80s night will have you dancing and singing from start to finish. Expect a long and wild night.
Music in-between sets will also be provided to keep the 80s theme going. From his experiences as a touring musician in the 80s Chris has created a high energy, versatile solo tribute performance.
