Claudia-llelujah!




Back in the mid 80s Propaganda released a pair of truly classic singles (see above...if you’ve not heard them you’re in for a treat) and the voice behind them was the lovely Claudia Brücken. Since the Propaganda days she’s done a bunch of other stuff, most recently working with partner Paul Humphreys (from synthpop pioneers OMD) as Onetwo. Now she’s off on an all too rare tour of the UK and Germany this month to promote her latest release The Lost Are Found, a fascinating set of covers from everyone from Pet Shops Boys to The Band. Hurrah! Unmissable. Here’s the list of dates:
