ABC: An Intimate Evening with Martin Fry
From Poison Arrow to The Look Of Love, from All Of My Heart and Be Near Me, to When Smokey Sings, ABC was the band that redefined glamour and cool. Their distinctive debut album, The Lexicon of Love, enjoyed transatlantic success and proved as artful as a Warhol silkscreen and glossier than Marilyn’s lipstick. It was a brilliantly distinctive album, fizzing with bright ideas and unapologetically flamboyant.
Led by the charismatic Martin Fry, the ABC frontman harked back to a golden era of luxe, as though Cole Porter had been re-imagined among the narrow streets of Sheffield. It is little wonder his sleek, opulent, and beautiful debut retains listeners’ affection four decades on. Martin Fry will bring an evening of stripped-back music and conversation to UK theatres in celebration. His intimate tour follows a sold-out tour of the UK, which included three sell-out nights at the London Palladium, and coincides with the publication of his autobiography. That’s the look, that’s the look… the look of love.
