THE TOUR
Culture Club was a British new wave and pop band that rose to prominence in the early 1980s. The group was known for its catchy melodies, distinctive sound, and the flamboyant and androgynous style of its lead singer, Boy George. His distinctive fashion choices, including colorful and elaborate outfits and his signature fedora hat, made him a fashion icon during the 1980s.
Boy George was openly gay at a time when LGBTQ+ issues were not as widely discussed as they are today, and his openness about his sexuality had a significant impact on pop culture.
The band was formed in London in 1981. The core members of the band included:
- Boy George (real name George Alan O'Dowd) - Lead vocals
- Roy Hay - Guitar and keyboards
- Mikey Craig - Bass guitar
- Jon Moss - Drums and percussion
Culture Club's music was a blend of various genres, including new wave, pop, reggae, and soul. Their sound was characterized by catchy melodies and Boy George's distinctive, soulful vocals.
Some of their popular songs include "Karma Chameleon," "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me," "Time (Clock of the Heart)," and "Church of the Poison Mind."
COLLECTABILITY
Tour programs are highly collectable and sought after for several reasons. Firstly, they provide a tangible memento of a specific concert or event, allowing fans to relive the experience and cherish the memories associated with it. Tour programs often feature exclusive content like behind-the-scenes photos, interviews, and detailed information about the artists and their performances. Additionally, they serve as a snapshot of a particular era in an artist's career, making them valuable to both music enthusiasts and historians. Whether you're a dedicated fan or a passionate collector, owning these programs offers a tangible connection to the music world and serves as a treasured piece of memorabilia.
Programs can also be framed together with other items we have on our website such as vinyl records, official stage guitar picks, autographs, backstage passes, concert tickets, drumsticks and photos and you can create a truly one-of-a-kind unique piece of memorabilia.
