The 2008 tour features the following amazing artists:

RICK ASTLEY
From the famous Stock, Aitken & Waterman stable where he was discovered as a tea boy. Rick went onto have many hits that included his No. 1 single 'Never Gonna Give You Up' (which was also the best selling single of 1987 and won a Brit for Best single the following year), a cover of the classic ballad 'When I Fall In Love', 'Together Forever', 'Whenever You Need Somebody', 'Take Me To Your Heart', 'She Wants To Dance With Me' and 'Cry For Help'. No other British solo male can match his 7 consecutive top ten hits in that decade.

BANANARAMA
The girl band of the eighties and one of the most successful girl bands of all time - this sassy duo which comprises of original members Sara Dalin and Keren Woodward take to the stage for their first Here & Now tour. Their many hits include 'Cruel Summer', 'Robert De Niro's Waiting', 'Venus', 'Love In The First Degree', 'I Want You Back', 'It Ain't What You Do It's The Way That You Do It', 'Really Saying Something', 'Shy Boy' and 'Na Na Hey Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye' amongst many others.

Paul will sing a selection of his hits from 'Wherever I Lay My Hat', 'Love Of The Common People', 'Come Back & Stay' to 'Everything Must Change'.
