Profile

Like a bit of Numan? Go misty eyed over Duran? Okay so everyone had bad hair, everything was luminous & every school had an annoying kid who could do the rubiks cube in under a minute (taking the stickers off doesn’t count!) But the 80s was a decade of great tunes & Class of '86 brings you the biggest, fattest, coolest tracks of the era; So flick back that fringe, slip on the ray bans, strap that big fat 80s mobile to your back &... Relax!

With a passion for synths and all things electric Class of '86 is able to take on some of the more challenging songs of the 80s, using loops and samples alongside drums, guitar and bass. The result is an unrivalled tribute to the most famous artists of the decade.


Testimonials:

Lads, Just a note to say thanks for everything! Everybody thought you were brilliant, to cover an age group of 18- 50 plus takes some doing, especially after traveling from Norfolk all the way down to Somerset! Everybody has commented to me how good you sounded and also what nice blokes you were too. It was a special occasion in our squadrons history and your fantastic performance made it even more memorable. To steal a song from the night you guys made it a "Fantastic Day"!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much and don't be surprised when we call again!

Thank you for Saturday night. Everyone we have spoken to about the event has commented on what a fantastic band you are. We are thinking of doing the same next year, so may get in touch again. Once again thanks.
Mark Farley, St George's Hall, Exeter City Council

Richard, I'm back from honeymoon. Just a quick e-mail to say thanks. There were many comments on how good you guys were and everyone really enjoyed the music. PS Thanks for guiding me through my impromptu performance of Gold! - Chris

You & the band were all really, really fantastic - in the words of Simon Cowell (or was it Nicky Chapman?) - you blew me away! The band was fab, and loads of people have since told us how great they thought you all were. Thanks again,
Pip
Just a quick email to say thank you so much for Saturday night, you guys were brilliant. Everyone had a great time as you could probably tell from the many shouts for "one more" or in some cases "three more"! Thanks for making our night such a memorable one. We will certainly recommend you in the future.

Just wanted to pass on my thanks to you and the band for playing at our wedding on the 6th August in Beaconsfield. You were absolutely fantastic and turned it into a brilliant evening for us all. The music was spot on so thank you! All the best
Lucie and Mike

We were delighted with the band. They were perfect for the evening and good company earlier in the day. Comments from our guests were entirely positive (which makes us look good!). They couldn't believe that we could find such a band without knowing them first. Some of the songs sounded better than the originals!! The dance-floor was packed which is always a great testament to a band (and to the quantity of alcohol). Thanks for your assistance.
John
