A member of a hit 1980s band is the latest addition to a festival bringing musical nostalgia to the city this summer. 

Martin Kemp will take fans back to the electrifying 80s with a special DJ set at Uptown Festival. 

He will join the line-up alongside UB40, The Christians and The Earth, Wind and Fire Experience at the festival which will take place in Earlham Park on June 9.
