The line-up for Sunday at the Haslemere Fringe is taking shape with the announcement that headliners Blue will be joined by legendary 80s band T’Pau.
T’Pau, led by power vocalist Carol Decker, enjoyed a string of hits in the late 80’s and early 90’s – most notably “China in your Hand” and “Heart and Soul.” Their debut album “Bridge of Spies”, released in 1987, sold over 1.2 million copies in the UK alone, going quadruple platinum.
The original band split in 1991 and Carol dropped out of the music scene for a few years, but in 1997 she decided to resurrect T’Pau with a new lineup. They have kept a steady touring schedule, including numerous 80s revival gigs, ever since.
Festival Coordinator Paul Ashton said, “Glastonbury has it’s ‘Legends Slot’, in Haslemere we like to get the crowd singing along during the Teatime Slot. Last year we had Betty Boo, this time we’re excited to have the amazing Carol Decker of T’Pau.”
Completing the line-up for Sunday evening will be modern funk diva, Tash Hills whose performance of upbeat, infectious and fun music at the last Haslemere Fringe went down so well, her track “Mirrorball Dreams” was featured on the 2022 Showreel!
If you can’t wait until July, Tash Hills and other Fringe bookings are due to perform at The Fringe Sessions at The Shottermill Club on 10 February (£5 on the door).
