The Rise. The Fall. The Betrayal.
12 March 2018
Without a doubt - When speaking about the British music scene of the 1980's - ("blue-eyed soul" rockers) Spandau Ballet (amongst several other notable bands) were the ones who, most definitely, helped shape and define that unique era in pop music history.

Impressively directed by George Hencken - "Soul Boys Of The Western World" tells the intriguing and eye-opening story of the meteoric rise, the double-crossing fall, and the eventual (but at first reluctant) reunion of Spandau Ballet.

Through interviews, stills, and an absolutely amazing collection of vintage film clips (chronicling London's youth culture movement, circa 1975-1985) - This exceptional documentary is a first-rate production that I highly recommend to all who are interested in pop music of yesteryear.

This is one of the best presentations of its kind that I've seen in a mighty long time. I hope that you will agree.
