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 “West End Girls” and “It’s A Sin” 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 “Loneliness” from their most recent album “Nonetheless”. They performed that single in Radio 2’s Piano Room as well as a brilliant cover of Mott The Hoople’s “All The Young Dudes” and then played five nights at London’s Royal Opera House in July.
