Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp took to the stage at 7pm and put on a DJ performance to remember on Thursday, with those attending singing and dancing along to classics from the 80s.
The performance ended an incredible night of entertainment in the town, with visitors enjoying almost four hours of non-stop entertainment on the mega main stage.
