Heaven 17

Heaven 17 is not primarily known as a venue or an ensemble organisation, but as a synth-pop band from the United Kingdom. Formed in Sheffield in 1980, the band was founded by Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh, former members of The Human League, and vocalist Glenn Gregory. They were part of the post-punk electronic music wave that came to prominence in the early 1980s. The band is best known for their debut album 'Penthouse and Pavement' and the later hit single 'Temptation' from the album 'The Luxury Gap.' They played a significant role in pioneering and popularizing synth-driven pop music during that era. Beyond their recorded work, Heaven 17 has continued to perform live, maintaining a devoted fan base and regularly appearing at nostalgic music festivals and tours.
