🔥QUICK FIRE WITH BANANARAMA

🔥 Quick fire interview with Bananarama  #leeds #bananarama #80sclassical

We put Bananarama in the hot seat — from performing with the Orchestra of Opera North to iconic 80s fashion and the trend they think deserves a comeback, plus a special message for Leeds at the end. Take a look ahead of their performance this Saturday.

🎤 THE VOICES BEHIND THE SHOW

The unsung heroes of 80s Classical 👏 #leeds #80sclassical #livemusic

80s Classical wouldn’t be the same without its powerhouse backing vocalists. Returning favourites Bianca Claxton and Adetoun Ayoola are joined this year by Jesse Smith, bringing the vocals that lift the show to another level. Trust us — these voices give you goosebumps every time.


🎧 YOUR 80S PLAYLIST
