‘Glampunkska' is the brainchild of Cambridge musician, Mark Tingey and was born out of his desire to encapsulate the musical essence of the 1970's. Back then it all began with theatrical Glam Rock, followed by the musical revolution of Punk Rock and ending the decade with the sounds of Ska, which was a dominant force both in the charts and on a more underground level. All of these genres not only share one of the most influential and iconic musical decades of all time, but each one represents the dynamic and changing voice of the youth of its day. This ‘voice' may have grown older, the coiffure and spiky hair may be grey or gone altogether, but there is still a huge fan base going strong after 30 plus years and the possibility of its celebration by bringing it all together on one glorious night was too good an opportunity for Mark to miss.
