80’s favourites Go West and Nik Kershaw are teaming up for an Australian tour in 2024.
Go West, comprising Richard Drummie and Peter Cox are a British duo who found huge success with their debut album in 1985. It featured the hit singles We Close Our Eyes, Call Me, Don;t Look Down Girl and Goodbye Girl. They also released a remix album the following year.
The duo’s follow-up album, Dancing on the Couch, was released in 1987 and included the chart-topping hit King of Wishful Thinking which featured in the movie Pretty Woman. Over their career the band have put out five albums of material.
“The last time we were in Australia was just before the pandemic, so this tour is long overdue.” Cox and Drummie said announcing the new tour. “We always enjoy playing across Australia and it will be extra special this year as we tour alongside our mate, Nik Kershaw. We look forward to seeing you all in March 2024.”
Nik Kershaw bust onto the music scene in 1984 with debut album Human Racing which included the hits Dancing Girls, Wouldn’t It Be Good, and I Won’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me. His follow up album The Riddle came out just ten months later with chart smashes The Riddle, Wide Boy and Don Quixote.
Kershaw’s gone on to make nine solo albums as well as collaborating with Elton John, Kim Wilde, Sia, Gary Barlow, and producer Stuart Price in his Les Rhymes Digital guise.
