A man who’s been at the heart of some of Britain’s most important pop music of the past 50 years will be appearing at Paignton’s Palace Theatre next week.

Super producer Trevor Horn has been described as ‘the man who invented the eighties’.

After achieving a number one hit with his band, The Buggles, with Video Killed The Radio Star, Horn became a member of Yes before becoming the most important hit-maker of the 1980s – and beyond. Awards followed – there were four Brits, a 1995 Grammy for Seal’s Kiss From A Rose, a 2010 Ivor Novello for his Outstanding Contribution to British Music, and a CBE.

Tickets for his show on November 12, Adventures In Modern Recording: An Intimate Evening with Trevor Horn, can be booked at www.palacetheatrepaignton.co.uk
