Picture neon lights flickering to the pulse of electronic beats; that’s the essence of When In Rome, a synth-driven trio from the UK that captured the essence of the late '80s. With Clive Farrington and Andrew Mann lending their voices to the mix, alongside keyboardist Michael Floreale, they created infectious melodies that had dance floors buzzing.
