Get out your hair gel and Doc Martins and head to London in 1982 for a tribute to one of the most influential duos in pop history.

Lasting only 18 months, Yazoo had a major effect on the pop industry proving that electronic music could cross over the soul divide.

The studio geek and the larger-than-life blues-soul singer proved to be a match made not just in Essex, but in heaven. Their debut album, 1982’s Upstairs At Eric’s, soared to No.2 in the UK. Its follow-up the following year, You And Me Both, went one better.

Yazoo came as close as anyone to marrying the synth revolution to ye olde-fashioned bluesy love songs: Situation and Don’t Go could, and did, appeal to fans of both Aretha Franklin and The Human League. Upstairs At Eric’s’ truly mighty Bring Your Love Down (Didn’t I) was New Pop Motown.

After two years, Clarke went on to form the rather more long-lasting Erasure. Moyet went on to inevitable lung-bursting solo success. Yet for a too-brief early 80s moment in time, Yazoo were a nugget of piquant pop perfection.

Colin Peddie and Marion Loudon present a brand-new show for the Rhumbelow theatre.

A loving tribute to Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet’s short-lived association and the success it brought.

They Produced just 2 albums, both of which have stood the test of time and still sound as fresh today as they did in the early 80s.

Join us for a careful study of their music and story, told through the music and some audio visual delights.
