Culture Club play first gig in twelve years

Culture Club took to the stage in Heaven the scene of their inaugural London show in 1982 last night to play their first gig in twelve years.

The eleven-piece band, including original line-up with Boy George on vocals, Mikey Craig on bass, Roy Hay on guitar/keyboards and Jon Moss on drums/percussion, performed songs from their new album Tribes as well as the old classics.

The celebratory 'practice' gig lasted an hour and a half with fans leaving the venue ecstatic.

"Best gig of my life" said Amelia Duranda from Italy.

Writing on Twitter, Boy George thanked the band's fans for braving the aftermath of Hurricane Gonzalo to Charing Cross: "Thanks to all of you who braved the autumn chill to see CultureClub at Heaven. Love you all! :)"
