SUMMARY:Thompson Twins' Tom Bailey
DESCRIPTION:Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey\n\n\n\nThis Friars date will be the opening night of Tom’s 2026 UK Tour. He will be playing the big Thompson Twins hits\, songs that were the soundtrack to our lives\, such as Doctor Doctor\, You Take Me Up\, Sister of Mercy\, The Gap\, Love On Your Side\, We Are Detective\, Lay Your Hands on Me\, King For a Day and their biggest hit Hold Me Now. \n\n\n\nBailey and his band will also be performing other classic Thompson Twins favourites\, as well as tracks from his solo album Science Fiction. \n\n\n\nIn 2022\, Tom Bailey played an exclusive date for Friars Aylesbury\, when he played the whole of the Thompson Twins’ iconic Into The Gap album for the first time in his career. Fans flew in from all over the world\, particularly from the USA\, making it one of the best Friars gigs of the past decade. \n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey\n\n\n\nBailey has been storming UK arenas and festivals throughout the summer of 2025\, receiving a standing ovation every night as a special guest of The Human League. He also rocked Rewind Henley in August\, receiving one of the biggest audience reactions of the entire festival. Afterwards\, Rewind posted ‘No one does it like Tom Bailey’. \n\n\n\nThompson Twins are widely regarded as one of the iconic bands of the 1980s. Known for their unique fusion of pop\, new wave\, and synth-driven dance music\, combined with an eclectic visual style\, the band enjoyed consistent success in both the singles and albums charts throughout the decade on both sides of the Atlantic. They are also among the select group of British artists who successfully “broke” America. \n\n\n\nIn 1985\, they appeared at Live Aid in Philadelphia with Nile Rodgers on guitar and Madonna on backing vocals. Thompson Twins singer and co-writer Bailey is regarded as one of the UK’s premier songwriters\, performers and producers. He played on Grace Jones’ My Jamaican Guy and Foreigner’s I Want to Know what Love Is amongst many others. \n\n\n\nThompson Twins Tom Bailey are: \n\n\n\nTom Bailey (vocals/guitar/keyboards/harmonica/percussion) \n\n\n\nCharlotte Raven (vocals/keyboards/electric cello) \n\n\n\nPaulina Szczepaniak (vocals/electronic drums) \n\n\n\nAlice Offley (vocals/keyboards/bass guitar) \n\n\n\nSupporting Tom Bailey will be special guests Blancmange. Neil Arthur is a long-time friend of Tom’s and is a fellow artist from the Eighties synth pop scene and arts culture.  \n\n\n\nWith four top 20 singles\, including the highly acclaimed Living On A Ceiling\, the band were an integral part of British musical history from that era. Accomplished wordsmiths with ironic\, stylish videos\, Blancmange\, The Twins and their contemporaries were the epitome of 80’s cool! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £35.46 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nThursday 10 September 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nMain Auditorium \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nThis is a seated venue.
