BRITISH Soul star Jaki Graham will take to the stage at Jack Up The 80s. 
The family-friendly music festival takes place over August 11 and 12 at Smallbrook Stadium, in Ryde. 
Jaki has enjoyed chart success for more than 30 years with hits such as Could It Be I’m Falling In Love, a duet with David Grant in 1985, Set Me Free, Round and Round, and a version of Chaka Khan’s Ain’t Nobody, which topped the USA Billboard dance charts for five weeks in the early 1990s.
Jaki is renowned for putting on a great live set and loves the Isle of Wight having holidayed here many times.
She will join Toyah Willcox, T'Pau, and Five.
Organisers said: “We’re really excited to welcome Jaki to our festival. She’s someone who’s had a string of hits, she was a real trailblazer on the London soul scene and a regular on Top of the Pops in the 1980s. Jaki will be performing with a great live band and is guaranteed to delight audience members of all ages.”
Mainstream Early Bird tickets go on sale on Monday, January 22 and will be available from jackupthe80s.co.uk. A limited number will also available at over the counter from outlets on the Isle of Wight, including the County Press.
