The 80's Concept Album
We thought, seeing as we were doing a lot more 80's songs in our set at the time, that it'd be fun to do a full 80's album. The concept was to make it sound like an episode of Top Of The Pops.
We then listed a whole load of 80's songs that we liked, but when we looked closely we realised that a lot of them had been number one hits. It was soon decided that the album would feature a number one from every year of the 80s starting in 1980 and finishing in 1989 (plus a few hidden gems!).
It is also the first time we had the pleasure of getting Alan Doonican into the studio to add some accordion tracks.
We then started work on a follow-up DVD, a visual version of the album, including videos for several of the songs, most notibly Danny's wonderful Rick Astley impersonation in the video for 'Never Gonna Give You Up'.

You can get this album at live shows with separated tracks (and the hidden bonus tracks)
but it is here as a charity download.
We've set this up so that you can download it for free, but we urge you to donate some money to the
Ebonie Webb campaign and help a very poorly little girl.
