They’ve played their energetic and sexy 70’s and 80’s show, complete with dazzling costumes and stunning effects, to capacity crowds at festivals such as The Hastings Music Festival and have brought pleasure to many fans during their numerous Irish tours, including invited performances at the prestigious Olympia Theatre.
