Oh what a night! Butlin's 80's Madness Weekend's have often been the stuff of legend. All that you've heard - however outrageous - is true!
Sample Minds delivered a stunning hour set in the Red Bull Arena. From the opening dance groove of 'Love Song' the crowd gave the band an amazing reception.
One fan commented, "We've been coming to Butlin's 80's Madness for 4 years and you were by far the best tribute we've seen!"
The set was:
- LOVE SONG
- SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IN SUMMERTIME
- DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME
- PROMISED YOU A MIRACLE
- GHOSTDANCING / GLORIA
- BELFAST CHILD
- WATERFRONT
- SANCTIFY YOURSELF
- ALIVE AND KICKING
- NEW GOLD DREAM
It was a privilege to share the bill with 80's icons 'Musical Youth' and '5 Star'.
"Musical Youth were fabulous," said Steve. "They exceeded our expectations in every way and Dennis was a true gentleman." (Rumours of Steve and Dennis re-recording 'Pass the Dutchie' are unfounded at this time!).
5 Star gave a tremendous performance. "Denise's voice was staggering," enthused Thorsten.
Simon continued, "I was enthralled by Stedman. It was incredible how he manages to pull off seductive dance routine's whilst simultaneously melting! Remarkable stuff!"
The good news is that the bands relationship with Butlin's looks set to continue with more dates to come.
A huge thankyou to Willie and all the Butlin's team for a fabulous night.
See you there next year.
Hi-di-hi......!!!
