    Following sell out shows in Leeds and London, Cherry Red present volume one in a planned series of 80s Classical albums - showcasing iconic voices and songs in breathtaking new studio versions performed by the original artists.

    That), arranged and conducted by Cliff Masterson (Little Mix / Josh Groban / Tom Walker), ‘80s Classical Volume 1’ comprises 13 brand new studio re-workings of the biggest hits of the 80s, plus a bonus remix by synthwave maestro L’Avenue.


    The 80s Classical show made its debut in 2019 at the Opera North In The City festival, in Millennium Square, Leeds. Now in its fourth year, having hosted a line-up of appearances from Jimmy Somerville, Belinda Carlisle, Kim Wilde, Heaven 17, Go West, Nick Heyward, Howard Jones, Hue & Cry and John Parr, the brand makes the transition from the stage to the studio for their debut album release.
