ABC – An Intimate Evening With Martin Fry
A Look At Life And A Look Of Love

The hits earned their place in pop history. From 'Poison Arrow' to 'The Look Of Love', from 'All Of My Heart', and 'Be Near Me', to 'When Smokey Sings', ABC were the band that redefined glamour and cool. Led by the charismatic Martin Fry, they enjoyed TransAtlantic success as 'The Lexicon of Love' proved as artful as a Warhol silkscreen, and glossier than Marilyn’s lipstick. ABC's The Lexicon of Love was a brilliantly distinctive debut album, fizzing with bright ideas, and unapologetically flamboyant.

Frontman Martin Fry harked back to a golden era of luxe, as though Cole Porter had been re-imagined among the narrow streets of Sheffield. Little wonder his sleek, opulent, and beautiful debut retains the affection of listeners four decades on. With good reason, it has stood the test of time. And so has Martin Fry, who will bring an evening of stripped-back music and conversation to UK theatres in celebration. His intimate tour follows a sold-out tour of the UK, which included three sell out nights at London Palladium, and coincides with the publication of his autobiography.

That's the look, that's the look… The Look of love.
