As two of the biggest frontmen of a generation, Marti Pellow and Tony Hadley both enjoyed huge global success with their respective groups, Wet Wet Wet and Spandau Ballet, as well as now continuing to tour across the UK and beyond as solo artists.
Speaking about the cruise, Marti said: ““I’ve done tours by bus, van, plane and train… but never by cruise ship! So I thought, why not give it a go – and who better to set sail with than Tony Hadley?
“We’ve both had incredible journeys on our own, but this will be the first time our paths properly cross on stage. I’m looking forward to the music, the laughs, and maybe even a wee sing-song under the stars. It’s going to be one to remember.”
Tony added: “Me and Marti Pellow on a ship together? Brilliant, I can’t wait to jump onboard.
“This isn’t just one night and one show, but six nights and a series of exciting shows plus you get to have a holiday with both of us at the same time.”
Marti Pellow is one of the UK’s most enduring and versatile vocalists, best known as the frontman of chart-topping pop group Wet Wet Wet. With more than 15 million albums sold, multiple Number 1 singles, and a string of multi-platinum albums Marti became a defining voice of British pop in the late 20th century.
Alongside a successful solo career—spanning more than a dozen albums across pop, jazz, and soul—Marti has established himself as a leading man in musical theatre, starring in Chicago (West End, Broadway), Evita, Jekyll & Hyde, Blood Brothers, and Chess. His powerful stage presence and vocal range have earned him critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic.
As frontman of 80s New Romantic band Spandau Ballet, Tony Hadley earned himself the accolade of being one of pop music’s greatest vocalists. The band had numerous chart-topping singles and albums all over the world and by the mid-80s they were worldwide superstars.
More than 40 years on from the beginning of his Spandau career Tony’s unmistakeable voice still brims with passion and urgency as it first did all those years ago, and as a successful solo artist Tony has performed across the world with his Fabulous TH Band, swing bands and orchestras.
Like Marti, Tony has also enjoyed success on the West End stage when he starred as Billy Flynn in Chicago.
