Give your next party a Kick Up the 80s! 

by Mark Nobes, chief editor

If you would like to celebrate 80s music at your next party or event, then you will be in very safe hands with "the ultimate 80s party band" KIck Up The 80s. This well established 4-piece band describe themselves as "the longest-running 80s tribute band", and have enjoyed success with around 20 years of sold out shows across the UK. 
So why are they so successful? No doubt, this can be attributed to the fact that the band really do put their heart and soul into each performance. They're certainly a high octane and fun act, with each show including top quality lights, lasers and dry ice, as well as costume changes, audience participation and "guest star appearances". Indeed, they are so good that they have actually appeared with major artists from the 80s, including Go West, ABC, Limahl, Bad Manners and Jaki Graham. 
Kick Up The 80s - the ultimate 80s party band
The band cover a wide range of genres, so whether you're into Ska, synthpop or 80s metal, you'll find something here to suit all tastes.
