November 2017 marks the 30th anniversary of the classic “China In Your Hand” reaching Number One in the UK music charts. To mark the occasion, Carol Decker and the band have announced a special set of live shows.

T'pau burst onto the music scene in 1987 with the hit "Heart & Soul" reaching No. 4 in both the UK & US charts. Taken from the debut album "Bridge Of Spies", it’s innovative use of a rap verse by a white female vocalist introduced the world to the distinctive lead vocals of Carol Decker & the song writing talents of Carol & Ronnie Rogers.

"Heart & Soul" led to a meteoric rise in T'pau's fortunes both at home & in the USA, where the track stayed on the US billboard chart for 6 months. After a UK arena tour supporting Bryan Adams, the band immediately toured UK City Halls as headliners to tie in with the next single, the classic ballad "China In Your Hand." Nobody could have predicted the enormous impact of "China" which stayed at No. 1 for 5 weeks - the longest serving No. 1 of the year! Simultaneously, “Bridge Of Spies”occupied the number 1 album slot for 2 weeks. The Arena concerts followed..

Carol has always been a regular & popular guest on radio, including Ken Bruce, Steve Wright & Terry Wogan for Radio 2 and Mark Goodier & Paul Coia at Smooth Radio. Carol has presented shows for Absolute 80’s, Magic , LBC & BBC Radio Berks. She continues to perform live in concert regularly in the UK & abroad. After embarking on the  hugely successful  T’pau 25live anniversary tour in 2013, Carol and Ronnie went back into the studio and wrote and recorded “Pleasure And Pain”, released in 2015 to 5 star reviews, followed by a sell-out Songs And Stories acoustic tour, promoting her autobiography Heart and Soul

The 30th Anniversary Virgin Anthology Boxset is out now.
