What you need to knowBirmingham soul band Dexys (formerly Dexys Midnight Runners) are performing a short run of stage shows at London's Duke of York Theatre. The band behind 80's hits such as, Come on Eileen and Geno reformed last year with the release of the critically acclaimed album One Day I'm Going to Soar - their first release in 27 years.
In their Duke of York show, Dexys perform the album in its entirety. But this is no ordinary gig. Lead singer Kevin Rowland narrates the story of falling for, wooing, winning and spurning his ideal woman (a role played, and sung, by Madeleine Hyland). The show also includes some of Dexys' classic songs. Runs until 27 April.
