Get ready for another trip back to the eighties on this week’s Eighties Playback! We’ve got a fantastic selection of music lined up, featuring the likes of Culture Club, who take centre stage as this week’s Eighties Icons, with three tracks back-to-back celebrating one of the decade’s most distinctive bands.
