The Night Afore Concert with Forth 1 presents a glittering evening of pop glamour to kick-start Edinburgh’s Hogmanay 2022 celebrations. Join pop princess Sophie Ellis-Bextor and special guests Altered Images as we get the Edinburgh’s Hogmanay party started at this all-new family event for disco divas of all ages.
Forth 1 DJ Boogie will be your host for the evening, spinning the wheels of steel with dancefloor classics, spot-prize giveaways, and a few surprises.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor shot to fame as a vocalist on Spiller’s huge number one single, ‘Groovejet’, and her worldwide smash hit, ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’. Her debut solo album, ‘Read My Lips’, was released in 2001 and sold over 2 million copies worldwide. Her subsequent albums provided further critical and commercial success, and in 2020, her Kitchen Discos, performed at home during lockdown with her five sons and recorded by her husband, musician Richard Jones, were watched and enjoyed by 40 million around the world.
Altered Images had worldwide success, selling millions of records and topping the charts in several countries. They recorded 3 x UK Top 10 Albums and had 6 x UK TOP 40 hits. In 1981, they were voted Best New Group at the NME awards; the same year, they were invited to play at The Royal Command Performance. Still fronted by iconic vocalist/songwriter Clare Grogan, Altered Images will be performing material from the incredible new LP Mascara Streakz and classics such as Happy Birthday, I Could Be Happy, Don’t Talk To Me About Love, See Those Eyes, Dead Pop Stars and more. They are back with their first new music in 39 years.
