For anyone in their mid-30s, The Human League, Five Star, Altered Images, Kim Wilde, Dollar, The Belle Stars and Visage are as familiar as shoulder pads and crimped hair.

Not that all of these bands were exactly fashionable but if anyone can admit to never singing along to at least one of this merry septet's songs, then they are probably dead inside.

Along with many other poptastic acts, this lot ruled the UK charts from the late Seventies and through the Eighties.

The nostalgia programmes that have littered our TV screens over the years have managed to fill everyone in on exactly what these lads and lassies have been up to since their heady days of fame but, whatever this might have been, they all seem pretty keen to clamber back up on to the stage again for the Here And Now Christmas Party tour.

For some, this makes more sense that others.

For instance, Five Star are now broke, Daddy Five Star having squandered his children's millions, so these loveliest of siblings have to literally sing for their supper once again.

Poor old Steve Strange's fall from pop grace turned him into a persistent if inadequate thief, which culminated in him being prosecuted for stealing a Teletubby in his native South Wales - so a few sheckles clearly wouldn't go amiss in the Strange household either.

But money is unlikely to be the only motivation for all these former stars.

Kim Wilde has established herself as a successful Guardian gardening guru with a husband, children and a lovely house, yet she couldn't resist the lure of the limelight.

Clare Grogan has actually never stopped being a performer, with a respected if not prolific acting career under her belt, so a stint as a singer isn't exactly out of character.

David Van Day has, however, suffered a somewhat less glamorous interim between chart-topping glory and his return as Eighties pop nostalgia.

Now a local boy, he runs a Belgian waffle stall in Brighton - perhaps the one advantage being that he won't have far to go to the gig.

Show starts at 7.30pm, tickets cost £28.50. Call 0870 735 5000.
