The only reference to this gig!
The webmaster, north Bucks:
This was a good one – and Annie Lennox showing off her sparkling
asexual image. Billed practically as a secret gig, this sold out well in
advance unsurprisingly just as it was no secret either that catching this
band at this time would be the only time you’d see them in Aylesbury. They
went massive on an arena only scale.
With kind permission of Ian Parry:
Annie Lennox at this gig.
The Eurythmics broke through in a big way in
1983 and carried on breaking becoming one of Britain's biggest acts. The
band went on indefinate hiatus in 1990 whilst Lennox forged a successful
solo career and Stewart kept himself busy, also scoring a hit single with
Dutch sax player Candy Dulfer. They got back and toured in 1999 on a fund
raising tour for Amnesty International and Greenpeace (we saw them on that
tour and they had not lost the sparkle). They also promoted together an
ultimate hits collection in 2005. Lennox has since released another solo
album.
