Some of his songs as part of Soft Cell, and even as a solo artist, have gone down in pop history and are remembered today thanks to their enduring appeal and the various covers that other artists have recorded. So when pop tickets emerge, giving audiences the opportunity to witness Marc Almond live, expect plenty of followers to be out in full force.
Alongside David Ball, Marc Almond managed to sell tens of millions of records during his time with Soft Cell and this is a testament to hit songs such as “Tainted Love”, “Torch”, “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye”, “What!”, “Soul Inside” and more. But Almond would begin his solo career as early as 1984 and over the years this has translated to singles such as “Tenderness is a Weakness”, “Stories of Johnny”, “Tears Run Rings”, “The Days of Pearly Spencer” and the famous “Something’s Gotten Hold of My Heart”. Only by getting concert tickets do audiences get the chance to hear songs such as these in a live setting (providing that they make it onto the set list).
And then there are the songs from his solo studio albums, which can be found on releases such as “A Woman’s Story” from 1986, “Enchanted” from 1990, “Fantastic Star” from 1996, “Open All Night” from 1999, “Stardom Road” from 2007 and “Varieté” from 2010. With such releases plus his time with Soft Cell there may be fans of Boy George and similar artists who could enjoy the work of Marc Almond, as well as the artists he has worked with such as John Cale and Jools Holland. However you choose to look at it, there is no doubting the long and successful career that Marc Almond has enjoyed.
So when pop tickets are out there that give audiences the opportunity to witness Marc Almond in a live setting, expect fans of the talented solo star, as well as Soft Cell, to be quick to get hold of them. He has been an important part of the British pop scene for many years now and there is no doubting that he will find fans well into the future.
