Second date by Spandau Ballet: Styled by Middlesex fashion student Simon Withers, the band play live at the Blitz Club in January 1980 as Churchill looks on. Most are sporting bow ties. Gary Kemp plays the little Yamaha CS-10 at left, then Tony Hadley as vocalist, with Steve Norman and Martin Kemp on guitars held high in their anti-rock stance. When they charted in November, Spandau had played only eight live dates. (Photographed by Derek Ridgers)
