It's hard to think of a better band to get the post-lockdown party started than Erasure. Tonight they took to the stage with the theme from Joe 90 blasting out in front of a crowd on their feet and ready to shake off the past 18 months of dancing deprivation.

It was my first time seeing the duo, so I had been really looking forward to the show. The stage set was simple and cool, with neon lighting reflecting the name of the album and tour, and brilliantly lit with a central video screen displaying graphics to accompany the songs.

On the opening night of their first post-pandemic tour, the British synth-pop duo proved they haven't lost their essence

Andy Bell proved the consummate entertainer, chatting between songs, introducing the backing singers and sharing the story of his surprise when he answered an ad and it ended up being Vince Clarke, whom he had known of and admired.
