And for Eurovision diehards there’s another treat in store with Sonia, who shot to fame with You’ll Never Stop Me From Loving You in 1989, completing the evening’s lineup.

The evening is being organised by RAW Events, with tickets available at £35.

And if the time travelling and uplifting music wasn’t enough to whet your appetite, then you may like to know that the bar will be open until well into the early hours.

Paul Wilson of RAW Events said: “It will be a night of drinking, dancing and nostalgia and is a must for all fans of 80s music.
