Martin Kemp, part of supergroup Spandau Ballet, will be appearing at Rainton Arena in Houghton on May 15, 2020 – with the promise of a night packed with retro hits.

The Back to the 80s Party sees the performer – who has also made his name as an actor in movies such as The Krays and TV series EastEnders - take to the turntables to play much-loved music from the era.
