ABC

ABC play all their greatest hits before performing their debut album The Lexicon of Love, in its entirety, with the Southbank Sinfonia Orchestra conducted by Anne Dudley.

The Lexicon Of Love was first released in 1982 and went straight to number one. Fusing dance floor finesse with a post-punk attitude, the album spawned timeless tracks such Poison Arrow, The Look Of Love, Tears Are Not Enough and All Of My Heart. Martin Fry’s combination of sly northern wit and subversive intelligence, pop flamboyance and rock swagger, gold lame and lyrics that deal with treachery make this album still as contemporary as it was in the beginning. This concert is one of just five special dates that follow the resounding success and critical praise of ABC’s first performance of the album with an orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall in 2009.

'The material has aged spectacularly well, as timeless art does' The Guardian
