    The ABC of Sheffield music nostalgia - SLIDESHOW - The Star Page 1 of 2 The ABC of Sheffield music nostalgia - SLIDESHOW Video See all the bands in our slideshow Just like old times: Heaven 17’s Glenn Gregory and Martyn Ware, top right ABC’s Martin Fry and, above, Phil Oakey « Previous « Previous Next » Next » ADVERTISEMENT Published Date: 15 December 2008 By John Quinn A MAJOR pop music event took place on Saturday night. But let's ignore The X Factor. Several thousand Sheffielders did, instead opting for a night of not-just-nostalgia with three of the best-known acts ever to hail from around here – The Human League, ABC and Heaven 17. Whatever entertainment Simon Cowell's crew provides, one negative effect is spoiling the suspense and potential surprise of the race for the Christmas number one single. However the crowd at an impressively almost-full Arena preferred to hark back to the days when the festive chart-topper could be made by a weird synthesizer group whose singer had responded to a split in the ranks by recruiting two teenage girls with no musical talent except the ability to dance and sing. Well, sort of... The city's music scene at that time consisted largely of electronic experimentalists, some of whom suddenly discovered they could write pop songs. Very good pop songs at that, which sold by the bucketload until the tide of fashion changed. The acts still exist, albeit after several line-up changes each, and occasionally release albums to diminishing returns, so whoever decided to combine all three pulled off a masterstroke.

  • George Michael Was Britain's Biggest Pop Star of the 1980S, First with The
    George Michael was Britain’s biggest pop star of the 1980s, first with the duo Wham! and then as a solo artist. The Three Crowns played a small but significant part in his story. After Wham! made their initial chart breakthrough with the single Young Guns (Go for It) in 1982, George’s songwriting gift brought them giant hits including Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go and Freedom, and they became leading lights of the 80s boom in British pop music, alongside Duran Duran, Culture Club and Spandau Ballet, even exporting it behind the Iron Curtain. His first solo album Faith, released in 1987, sold 25 million copies, and George sold more than 100 million albums worldwide with Wham! and under his own name. George was born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou in Finchley, north London. His father, Kyriacos Panayiotou, was a Greek Cypriot restaurateur, and his mother an English dancer, Lesley Angold. In the late 1960s the family moved to Edgware, where George attended Kingsbury School, before they moved to the affluent Hertfordshire town of Radlett in the mid-1970s. Bushey Meads Comprehensive 1974 - 1981 George – a wimp Andy - cocksure In September 1975 a twelve year old George showed up at Bushey Meads School keen to impress as the new boy and was introduced to Andy Ridgeley who had already been impressing for a full year. Andy recalled their meeting as follows; “I remember at the time we were playing King of the Wall. As he was the new boy we goaded him into it. I was up there and he threw me off.

    GIOVEDì 23 OTTOBRE 2014 Spandau Ballet grandi protagonisti oggi al festival del film di Roma: i cinque membri della band inglese degli anni Ottanta, oggi ultracinquantenni, hanno presentato il film che celebra il loro percorso, Spandau Ballet "Soul Boys of the Western World", diretto dalla regista George Hencken, distribuito nei cinema italiani il 21 e 22 ottobre. In un'ora e trenta di film Grande stile per il loro film su anni 80 si ripercorre il decennio degli anni Ottanta con un gruppo che ne fu protagonista, e che operò una rivoluzione di costume e musicale dopo il nichilismo punk, nell'Inghilterra degli scioperi e dei riots, sotto il governo di Margharet Thatcher. "Quello che amo di più di questo film è CARMEN GUADALAXARA E CRISTIAN la parte in cui si racconta il quartiere dove vivevamo da bambini, PEDRAZZINI Islington, e poi gli scioperi, i tumulti, la politica di quegli anni in Gran Bretagna: questo non è solo un film sugli Spandau Ballet" ha chiarito entusiasta il cantante Tony Hadley, mentre il sassofonista Steve Norman ha precisato: "Noi abbiamo dato tutto il materiale d`archivio a George, e lei ha reso giustizia sia agli anni Ottanta che alla nostra profonda amicizia".

  • 'Train from Spain' Project Wins Prestigious Heritage Award
    ‘Train from Spain’ project wins prestigious Heritage Award Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Preservation Society received the Coiley Locomotive Engineering Award at the prestigious Heritage Railway Association dinner and awards ceremony on Saturday 9 February. Held on February 9th at the McDonald Burlington Hotel, Birmingham the awards ceremony was hosted by Pete Waterman OBE. There were four projects in the running for the Coiley Locomotive Award, which is presented to a Heritage Railway Association member organisation who has completed an outstanding engineering project in the field of locomotive overhaul, restoration, or preservation. The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Preservation Society ran a two-and-a-half year project to buy and refurbish a 15" gauge steam locomotive, built by Krauss in Munich in 1929 and stored in Spain since the 1930s. The goal was to bring it back into active service for the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway in the Western Lake District for visitors of all ages to enjoy the seven miles of scenic track running from coast to the foothills of the highest mountain in England. The Train from Spain: Whillan Beck restoration project would not have been possible without the innovative fundraising initiative ‘The Train from Spain Appeal’. The locomotive was brought from Spain, where it has had a chequered history from its build in 1929. Extensive works were carried out over two years to bring the locomotive into working order. The magnificent Krauss steam locomotive which was formerly known as ‘The Train from Spain’ was officially named ‘Whillan Beck’ at a special naming ceremony on Saturday 5 May 2018 having been in service since earlier in the year under its old name.

  • Forest of Imagination: Meet the Artists, Including Heaven 17'S Martyn Ware
    ⏲ 06 June 2019, 16:39 (BST) Forest of Imagination: meet the artists Meet five artists who are part of Bath’s pop-up contemporary arts event Forest of Imagination, taking place 20-24 June 2019. Find out the music that most moves Heaven 17’s Martyn Ware; the favourite artworks of renowned paper-cutter Jessica Palmer; and where Tate-exhibitor Bob and Roberta Smith feels happiest. Get to know Bath based artists Clare Day and Perry Harris, and why Forest of Imagination draws them back, year after year. Martyn Ware A founding member of both The Human League and Heaven 17, Martyn is a London based musician, composer, arranger, record producer, and music programmer. In 2001 he co-founded Illustrious Company to exploit the creative possibilities of three-dimensional sound technology. Where do you get your inspiration for new soundscapes? The piece I’m creating for Forest 2019 stems from my fascination with reminiscence and memory. I’m exploring the bond that the very young and the very old have with one another. These people are at the opposite ends of their life but share so many insights about life. I thought I’d reveal this affinity by putting the words of the old in the mouths of the young and vice-versa. What pieces of music most move you? There’s no end to beauty in music. Symphony No. 9 by Gustav Mahler makes me want to cry. Samuel Barber’s ‘Adagio for String’ (the theme music to ‘Platoon’), is another powerful piece. John William’s score for ‘Close Encounters of a Third Kind’ is masterful.
