T'Pau

T'Pau are playing The Drill on Friday 27 November, part of Carol Decker and the band's first full UK tour in a decade. It's a long time since they've been out on the road like this, and the set will pull from both ends of their career: the hits, the fan favourites, and songs from their forthcoming album, Be Wonderful.

If you're coming to it from the hits, you'll know the ones that made them. They burst onto the scene in 1987 with 'Heart & Soul', followed by 'China In Your Hand', which sat at No.1 for five weeks — the longest-serving No.1 of that year and one of the 1980s' most recognisable singles. Their debut album, Bridge of Spies, spent two weeks at the top of the album chart and went quadruple platinum in the UK, selling 1.2 million copies. The 1988 record Rage also went platinum.

There's a bit of chart trivia that sets them apart, too: they hold the exclusive title of three simultaneous No.1s. At one point, 'China' was top of the singles chart, Bridge of Spies was top of the album chart, and the 'China Remix' was top of the dance chart. They were nominated for five Brit Awards and an Ivor Novello, and 'Heart & Soul' won an ASCAP Award in the USA.

Fronted by the fiery redhead Carol Decker, this Lincoln date is one stop on a full UK tour that's their first in ten years. The set will run through the hits and fan favourites alongside songs from Be Wonderful, the new album they're touring. Doors open at 19:00 at The Drill on Free School Lane, LN2 1EY, and general admission standing is £38.50 including fees.
