The vocalist is relishing the chance to go through the group's catalogue of tracks which spans four albums.

The 55-year-old has been part of a series of 80s festivals where she performs just a handful of songs in a set as one of many artists.

But the 25th anniversary of the pop rock group means she can "indulge" in performing for up to an hour-and-a-half.

And depending on the success of this tour and reaction of the fans she is happy to carry on performing – even though she insists there is no career plan in place.

Decker was at Lucy's Bar in Hednesford for the latest leg of the tour on Saturday night, where her energy and and vocals were lapped up by a crowd of around 200 people.

She said: "It is really nice to go back in our back catalogue and indulge ourselves.

"I do all those 80s shows and have a right blast but I have been getting a bit artistically frustrated doing four songs. I am really happy to see this kind of venue on the circuit. When I started out there were lots of places like this so you could earn your stripes but there aren't as many about now."

Fans at Lucy's Bar in Bradbury Lane were treated to a series of songs of songs including Heart and Soul, I Will Be With You and China in Your Hand.

The tour includes dates at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury on May 18 and Robin 2 in Bilston on June 15.
