ABC
ABC are one of those groups who come along once a decade to effect a shift in the way music is heard and made, one of those groups who move the music forward.
ABC were formed in 1980 in Sheffield after Martin Fry, then a music journalist, interviewed the band Vice Versa for his fanzine ‘Modern Drugs'. They adopted Fry as lead vocalist and changed their name to ABC. Their hits include Poison Arrow, The Look Of Love, All Of My Heart and When Smokey Sings
In April 2009, ABC performed the ‘Lexicon Of Love' live album at the Royal Albert Hall accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra. A music review The Independent newspaper described the performance as a "glorious night that has placed one of the Eighties' most perfectly constructed albums back near the top of the pop pantheon."
