Super-sharp eighties icons Spandau Ballet have become the latest recipients of a PRS for Music Heritage Award.

The plaque was presented by PRS chairman Guy Fletcher yesterday (Wednesday) at the site of their first ever gig at the Blitz Club, now Red Rooms, in the heart of London’s Holborn.

Brothers Gary and Martin Kemp, Steve Norman, Tony Hadley and John Keeble were all on hand to celebrate the occasion.
