Another chance to hear Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe from Pet Shop Boys choose the Tracks of OUR Years, from June 2024.
Neil and Chris met in a London Hi-Fi store in 1981 and bonded over a mutual love for disco and electronic music, drawing inspiration from synth-pop pioneers like OMD, Soft Cell and Depeche Mode.
They have sold over 50 million records worldwide in an astonishing career spanning four decades. From their breakthrough hits 鈥淲est End Girls鈥 and 鈥淚t鈥檚 A Sin鈥 to working with such luminaries as Dusty Springfield, Liza Minnelli, Madonna and Lady Gaga, their songs have been at the forefront of electronic music.
Pet Shop Boys began 2024 with a brand new single 鈥淟oneliness鈥 from their most recent album 鈥淣onetheless鈥. They performed that single in Radio 2鈥檚 Piano Room as well as a brilliant cover of Mott The Hoople鈥檚 鈥淎ll The Young Dudes鈥 and then played five nights at London鈥檚 Royal Opera House in July.
