Go West, Nik Kershaw And T'Pau Combine For 'Alternate '80s Tour'

Go West will celebrate their 30th anniversary with a series of special concerts this autumn.
The duo, Peter Cox and Richard Drummie, will unite with singer-songwriter NikKershaw for the shows which will see the the 80's icons perform new interpretations of some of their hits plus a few surprises along the way. Carole Decker of T'Pau is confirmed as special guest.
Richard Drummie of Go West says:
“We've been fans of Nik since day one. I can still remember vividly one sunny summer's day at my brother's flat above a wine bar in Richmond playing Know How from 'The Riddle' album at 11 on his new stereo. Blew me away! Our paths have crossed many times over the years and we’ve always had such a laugh, we thought it would be fun to get up on stage and squeeze out a few sparks. It's a monster bonus having Carol on the tour. She's an old friend and we've played with her many times. She always sets the place alight”.
Nik Kershaw adds:
"I’m thrilled and excited to be joining my old mates Go West on tour in the UK this coming autumn. I’ve been a big fan of theirs ever since first hearing that awesome opening lick of We Close Our Eyes in the back of a cab on my way to Heathrow. I was off on a world tour and 'Go West' ended up being the soundtrack to it. 30 years on, I relish this opportunity to finally collaborate with Peter and Richard and can't wait to join them on stage to mash up some tunes together. Getting to hear Carol's amazing voice every night will be the icing on the cake."
