Hue And Cry, one of the 1980s’ most formative soul pop groups, have announced plans to celebrate their 40th anniversary throughout 2024, starting on Friday, January 12th. The ‘Labours Of Love’ celebration is a series of 12 releases in the form of 4-track EPs released on streaming platforms every 2nd Friday of the month, and a documentary series via YouTube releasing every 4th Friday of the month.
The ‘Labours Of Love’ series launches with the first EP and documentary episode titled Beginnings, which covers the period of 1984 – 1985. The inaugural EP includes 4 previously unheard demos of Close The Door, Love In Word, Dangerous Wreck, and I Refuse, whilst the first in the YouTube documentary series will look at how their beginnings in grey, workaday mid-80s Glasgow and how the core musical “DNA” for Hue And Cry was captured in early songs and persists right to the present.
Hue And Cry will embark on a 40th Anniversary Tour that promises to be a celebration like no other, featuring a carefully curated setlist that spans the entirety of Hue and Cry's amazing career. With soulful vocals, impeccable musicianship, and undeniable chemistry on stage, the tour will feature a full band, sure to transport audiences back in time, where fans can expect to hear their favourite songs as well as a few surprises.
