Tony Hadley ex Spandau Ballet plays Holmfirth Picturedrome
The Editor
Tony Hadley, thought his future lay in medicine until as a young lad he won a holiday singing competition and decided his vocation was to sing. The rest is history!
Tony went on to front 80s New Romantic band Spandau Ballet, earning himself the accolade of being one of pop music’s greatest vocalists. The band had numerous chart-topping singles and albums all over the world, including the epic “Through the Barricades” and of course the international number one “True” and the unofficial London Olympics theme “Gold”.
By the mid-80s they were world-wide superstars however, relationships cracked and the band split in 1990. Despite two well documented reunions, which generated the critically acclaimed rockumentary film “Soul Boys Of The Western World”, Tony has now left the band permanently and returned to his successful solo career, writing, recording and performing.
Nearly 40 years on from the beginning of his Spandau career Tony’s unmistakeable voice still brims with passion and urgency as it first did all those years ago.
As a solo Artist Tony has performed across the world both with his band, swing bands and orchestras. In 2005 he was awarded a Gold Badge from the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters. 2007 saw him win a new legion of fans when he appeared as Billy Flynn in Chicago on the West End stage.
In addition to his music Tony has also presented his own radio programmes on Saturday night on Absolute Radio and now every Sunday morning on BBC Three Counties.
Every year Tony and his ‘Fabulous TH Band’ perform continuously at Concerts and Festivals all over the world.
Last year 2022 Tony embarked on his 40th Anniversary Tour performing 40 shows across the UK, followed by concerts in Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan and Italy.
He also released a photo book ‘My Life In Pictures’ celebrating his 40 years in music.
