Thomas Dolby: Requiem For The 80s

Thomas Dolby performs Requiem For The 80s at the Barbican Hall in London, a classical concert in the concert hall of the Barbican Centre.

Thomas Dolby is a British musician and producer whose early synth-pop recordings brought wide attention in the early 1980s. The album The Golden Age of Wireless (1982) included "She Blinded Me with Science", the best-known song in Dolby's catalogue, and the follow-up album The Flat Earth (1984) continued the electronic approach.

This concert is presented as classical music under the title Requiem For The 80s, drawing on the decade in which Dolby's first records appeared. It is a London engagement during the artist's tour.

Barbican Hall, on Silk Street, is the concert hall of the Barbican Centre, a performing arts centre. It is the home of the London Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and it hosts classical and jazz concerts throughout the year.
