Formed in 1982 by Peter Cox (Lead vocalist) and Richard Drummie (Guitarist and backing vocals), 80’s pop giants Go West met with instant success with their 1985 debut single ‘We Close Our Eyes’, and went on to have a string of hits including ‘Call Me’, 'Don’t Look Down’, ‘Goodbye Girl’, ‘Faithful’, ‘Tracks of My Tears’ and ‘King of Wishful Thinking’. Their eponymously titled debut album sold 1.5 million copies worldwide and remained on the UK chart for 83 weeks, and they have since gone on to release another four albums. March saw them finally play four shows, originally planned for 2020 but postponed because of Covid, with the Sinfonia Orchestra in Southend. Manchester, Birmingham and London. These photograhs were taken by Andrew Twambley at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester on the 18th March.
