Expect to hear Tuxedo Junction, Little Brown Jug and String of Pearls and you’ll not be disappointed.

Big news – Bowie is coming back to Milton Keynes... or rather Ultimate Bowie is.

Currently celebrating their 25th anniversary, poppy-rock sortsT’Pau promise a fantastic evening of music on Sunday.

Fronted by the instantly memorable Carol Decker, the band had a plethora of worldwide hits, including Heart & Soul which stayed on the US billboard chart for six months. And who doesn’t remember the 1987 track China in your Hand which occupied the UK number one slot for five weeks?

The original line-up split in 1991 but Carol continues to tour and record under the banner of T’Pau and former co-founder Ron Rogers is among the line-up.

who returns on Wednesday with regular touring collaborators, brother Steven Polwart (guitars/vocals) and Fair Islander Inge Thomson (accordion/percussion and vocals).

Her voice is pure and perfect.
