Holly Johnson - UK TOUR (until 17 Aug ) - Henley-on-Thames

Frankie Goes To Hollywoods 'RELAX' proved to be one of the decades most successful and controversial singles, it sold in excess of two million copies in the UK alone ranking it among the 10 biggest selling singles ever. It remained in the charts for a record 37 weeks. The BBC famously banned 'Relax', refusing to play it due to the perceived sexual content. Relax re-entered the charts following the release of their second single Two Tribes further cementing the band's place in music history with 2 singles sitting at chart positions Number 1 and 2. The band started to unravel following the release of 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome'. Holly moved on to solo success with the release of 'Blast' which also celebrates 35 years and produced hits such as Love Train, Americanos, Heavens Here and Atomic City.
