Nathan Moore of Brother Beyond and Friends
We are delighted to welcome Nathan to Holborn on Saturday 31 August for an 80’s and 90’s Party.

A chat over a pint with Pete Waterman and along with a bizarre auction where EMI would bid £25k for their production services resulted in the band working on two songs with Pete, Mike and Matt. The first song crafted was the Motown influenced ' The Harder I Try ' which made number 2 in the UK Charts. _A LIMITED NUMBER OF ‘SOUNDCHECK EXPERIENCE WITH MEET AND GREET’ TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE TO WITNESS NATHAN PERFORM 6 SONGS OF THE SOUNDCHECK PLUS MEET AND GREET.
