If you were there, and you remember the tunes well, then The Zoots - Sounds of the 80s is for you.

The Zoots will keep you Hungry Like The Wolf, as they play the floorfillers, party anthems, classic pop and power ballads that were Top Of The Pops, from the acts that mattered – Wham, The Jam, Queen, Bon Jovi, Tiffany, Duran Duran, Madness and many, many more.

The Zoots are five singers and five multi instrumentalists with a choreographed show which, according to The Stage, is 'Impressive' and 'impossible not to like!
