Adventures In Modern Recording – An Intimate Evening with Trevor Horn

From Seal to Frankie Goes to Hollywood, from ABC to Yes, from Grace Jones to Belle and Sebastian, and from Robbie Williams to Pet Shop Boys, one man has been at the heart of some of Britain’s most important pop music of the past 50 years: Trevor Horn.

The super producer has been described as ‘the man who invented the eighties’ and he was also responsible for the sound of such bands as Dollar, Malcolm McLaren, t.A.T.u. and countless more, including Hans Zimmer, Marc Almond, Tori Amos, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tina Turner, Art of Noise, Rod Stewart, and LeAnn Rimes.

After achieving a number one hit with his band, The Buggles, with Video Killed The Radio Star, Horn became a member of Yes before becoming the most important hit-maker of the 1980s – and beyond. Awards followed – there were four Brits, a 1995 Grammy for Seal’s Kiss From A Rose, a 2010 Ivor Novello for his Outstanding Contribution to British Music, and a CBE.

Following the publication of his best-selling memoir, Adventures In Modern Recording: From ABC to ZTT, Horn is visiting a select handful of theatres to talk about his exploits as a bona fide legend of pop.
