You might think I'm plugging this because the person who sent the press release mentioned how they were a long-term CMU Daily reader. But no, that's not it. It was the mention of T'Pau in the press release - and as I may have mentioned the other day, I'm seriously back into Carol Decker et al after downloading 'China In Your Hand' and 'Heart & Soul' off iTunes the other day. This is Ultimate Power, a club night from the Stash DJs dedicated to the power ballad, due to take place at The Monarch in Camden tomorrow, 1 Feb, from 8pm to 1am. Bonnie Tyler, Cher, Meatloaf, T'Pau and all their ilk are on the agenda. And it's just four quid to get in.
The aforementioned press release says this: "There used to be a time when big choruses, big hair and big emotions used to be a pre-requisite in any chart bothering smash on the hit parade. This was the time of the Power Ballad. And this is what tonight is all about. In a time when any idiot with a guitar, trilby hat, barely two chords and a massive dose of mediocrity can get on the cover of NME, this night is what you need in your life right now!"
