Formed in 1988, Touch the Pearl is a North West-based British covers band, popular for its unique arrangements and mash-ups of dance-floor fillers from across the decades and genres.

Tribute is paid to some of the most inspiring artists of the last 50 years, including Gladys Knight, Otis Redding, Chic, David Bowie, Amy Winehouse and Prince.
