Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp has promised to treat NHS staff with free tickets for a Valentine’s week Dundee gig.
The singer turned reality TV star has announced a series of Back to the 80s DJ shows across the UK from December to February 2021 and promoters have pledged 1,500 free tickets for NHS workers across the tour.
Duck Slattery’s in Dundee is scheduled for February 12 as part of a 12-gig run which will begin in Norwich on December 4, wrapping up in Cheltenham on February 27.
The Dundee date is the only one north of the border and Kemp said he hoped it would give fans something to look forward to once the nation is through the pandemic crisis.
Tickets are available via www.easyticketing.co.uk and NHS workers can apply for a free ticket by emailing proof of NHS employment to info@easyticketing.co.uk
The 80s legend will be behind the decks to spin the best hits from the most influential era of pop.
Kemp said: These shows will be a lot of fun and the ultimate return to the 80s.
“Music is everyone’s life soundtrack and transports us all to the best times of our lives. I think we all need that right now.”
Music fans can join the Spandau heartthrob on an unforgettable journey:’Back To The 80s’.
As a bassist in the multi-million selling band Spandau Ballet, he was behind hits including Gold, True and other classics of the era.
He added; “When I first started these DJ shows I thought we’d just do one out two but they’ve really taken off and they are just so much fun.
“My DJ skills have been honed at home with a little help from my son Roman. I’ve a nice little collection at vinyl at home – I love 70s rock but this tour is all about the 80s. Of course I will spin a few of the Spandau classics – how could I not?”
Since finding fame with the band, Kemp has gone on to star in films including The Krays, TV soap Eastenders and appear on shows including Celebrity Island With Bear Grylls.
