Jason Donovan came into our lives in the late 80s as Scott Robinson on the hit Australian series, ‘Neighbours’.

Heaven 17 originates from Sheffield and released their 1st album Penthouse and Pavement in 1981. Heaven 17 went on to have a string of massive hits with their biggest being Temptation which reached number 2 in the UK singles charts in 1983.

This track was taken from their most successful album The Luxury Gap which also featured other hits such as Come Live With Me and Crushed By The Wheels Of Industry. Heaven 17 continues to please the crowds with their unique sounds.

However they have always been recognised as a great live act, in 1985 the NME referred to them as "THE live band of the year." in 1999 the Doctor put together the present line and they have developed a great live show that just has to be seen to be believed with a unique and sensationally flamboyant act.
