It followed the first instalment of the online show, which raised over £100,000 for charity and, on Friday night, stars including OMD, Marc Almond, and Wet Wet Wet hit the virtual stage for more fundraising.

Hazell Dean, Go West, Rozalla, Then Jericho, Brother Beyond, Fuzzbox, Wet Wet Wet, Tony Hadley, Toyah, and Sonia also performed at the event, which streamed live on YouTube.

After an evening of stellar performances and iconic hits, it was announced that the show had attracted just over £35,000 in donations which will directly benefit the non-profit.

Check out the full, 4-hour show below – highlights include Fuzzbox’s Pink Sunshine (28:09) Hazell Dean’s brilliant green screen performance of Who’s Leaving Who (1:54:40), and Tony Hadley belting out the classic Boys of Summer and the iconic Gold (2:51:35).
