Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s original lineup of Holly Johnson, Paul Rutherford, Mark O’Toole, Brian Nash, and Peter Gill reunited for their first performance in 36 years on Sunday.
The group’s comeback came as part of the opening weekend festivities of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Appearing on stage in Liverpool, they performed “Welcome To The Pleasuredome.” Watch fan-captured footage below.
Ahead of the performance, Nash told the BBC that reuniting for a show in their hometown of Liverpool “felt like a good thing to do,” and said they were looking forward to feeling “a bit of Scouse love.” (“Scouse” is the informal term for a Liverpool accent.)
