A tribute night to the 1980s featuring Electromantics and Smalltown Boy takes place at The Winking Man in Buxton on 10 October 2026. The event recreates the energy of the decade with live performances and multimedia elements.
Here we go, an 80s night of top class entertainment.
Electromantics.
Fronted by the dynamic Andy “Gold” Dixon, Electromantics is made up of seasoned performers: Ben “Red” Simpson (keys/musical direction), Phill “Green” Cheetham (multimedia/synths), and Mick “Manochrome” Richardson (live PA and technical logistics), with Michelle Richardson managing merchandise and tour support. Together, they bring decades of live experience and a shared mission: to faithfully recreate the energy, sound, and spirit of the 1980s.
Smalltown Boy
The UK’s leading tribute to Jimmy Somerville, Bronski Beat & The Communards.
An electrifying, feel-good live experience celebrating one of the most distinctive voices of the 80s, blending soaring vocals, iconic synth-pop energy and timeless dancefloor anthems.
Featuring huge hits including You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real), Never Can Say Goodbye, Don’t Leave Me This Way, and of course the global smash Smalltown Boy, this high-energy tribute delivers nostalgia, emotion and pure live performance power from start to finish
Decades DJ alias the Boss Pete
