Event Description

Put on your dancing shoes!

Suckley musician Paul Aitken is hosting a party night at The Cube, Malvern on Saturday 25 January 2025 with his band The Retros. Paul has been performing all his life, with his first professional engagement being with a very young Sir Simon Rattle! He had a Top 40 hit single with The Banned (titled Little Girl) during the Punk/New Wave era and has appeared on Top of the Pops and Never Mind the Buzzcocks, having previously worked with an embryonic Dire Straits. He also co-wrote and recorded numerous tracks for BBC Children’s TV’s Take Hart and Hartbeat and Captain Zep during the 1980s with songwriting partner David Owen Smith.

The Retros have been entertaining audiences at big parties and corporate events all over the country for more than 30 years, playing solid gold hits, from every decade, that get everyone on their feet. The band has three albums available on Cherry Red Records (which co-incidentally also originated in Malvern!).

The band’s line-up has been refreshed and debuted on the bandstand in Malvern’s Priory Park playing a rock and blues set as part of the Music in the Park summer concert series. The other three band members, Dik Cadbury, Steve Degutis and Tony Meacock, have equally impressive musical CVs, working with Mike d’Abo, The Manfreds, Decameron and Steve Hackett (Genesis). Both Paul and Dik were educated in Malvern and have very strong family ties with the town.

It promises to be a great night, with the bar open from 7pm and some interesting guests, including an emerging local talent, Harry Graydon, and Gogo
Dancers from Worcester University.
