Heaven 17 are an English
new wave synthpop band originating from
Sheffield in the early 1980s. The band were a trio for most of their career, comprising
Martyn Ware (keyboards),
Ian Craig Marsh (keyboards) (both previously with
The Human League) and
Glenn Gregory (vocals). Although most of the band's music was recorded in the 1980s, they have occasionally reformed to record and perform, playing their first ever live concerts in 1997. Marsh left the band in 2007 and Ware and Gregory continued to perform as Heaven 17.
