Gary Davies: Straight Back To The 80’s

80’s…… We all love the 80’s and who better to bring into town than the man, the myth, the legend….. Gary Davies. Expect some wild shirts, bad dance moves, stunning make up, stonking hangovers and walk around dancers BUT make no mistake, there will be no room to dance around handbags though, grab your tickets quick for this one to avoid disappointment!! Gary Davies is still pinching himself. His childhood dream to work for BBC Radio not only came true, but it teed up a 40-year career in music. That career came full circle in 2018 after an amazing audience response to him sitting in for both Sara Cox and Steve Wright on Radio 2. In May of that year, he was asked to take the helm of the BBC Radio 2’s coveted Sounds of the 80s Show full time. It had been 23 years since he left his Radio 1 show, but his passion and knowledge remained undimmed. The perfect choice to host Sounds of the 80s, Davies’ star was at its peak in those heady days when he discovered and championed many of the acts that he now plays out on the show. He was one of the first to offer mainstream support to the likes of U2, Chris Rea, Deacon Blue, Tears For Fears and Simple Minds. Gary Davies and his show in some ways defined the sounds of the 80s as he constantly sought out new music.
