Dexys

Dexys enjoyed chart success with tracks like 'Geno', 'Jackie WIlson Said' and 'Come On Eileen', the latter a No 1 hit all over the world, selling more than a million copies in the UK alone and getting aunties on dance floors ever since.

In 2021, the band re-presented their classic album "Too-Rye Ay".
