Mike Stock is bringing classic acts back to our screens with a new online music show.

Conceived by Stock Aitken Waterman legend and Mike Read, the show will feature performances and interviews while providing an income for touring artists affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“These artists are still making great music and we wish to showcase their classic hits alongside their still exciting new material,” says Mike.

“These are heritage acts who have been largely ignored by the government and have been cut off from any income this year,” he adds. “We hope to provide some financial assistance as well as giving audiences something of real high quality to enjoy.”

Stars including Toyah, The Fizz, Sonia and Kim Wilde are among those who have filmed spots for the programme, which is hosted by Read and presenter Hayley Palmer.

“Stepping onto the set of This is Now with Mike Stock and Mike Read felt simultaneously like taking a step back in time, and taking the first exciting step forward to the next chapter in pop,” says Kim

“The pop loving public have been waiting for a show like this for a very long time, I’m so proud to be a part of its inception.”

The five episode series will debut on November 5th on TicketCo TV and will be broadcast weekly on Thursday evenings from 7 pm UK time.
