Spandau Ballet’s Kemp Brothers will reunite with Rhys Thomas for The Kemps: All Gold.
Spandau Ballet’s Gary and Martin Kemp have teamed up once again with acclaimed documentary filmmaker Rhys Thomas OBE for The Kemps: All Gold, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2020 mockumentary The Kemps: All True.
The Kemps: All Gold promises a year-long journey with the Kemp brothers, captured by Rhys Thomas. The narrative follows their endeavors in making a biopic, experiencing the twists and turns of divorce, and forming a supergroup. True to form, the journey is fraught with unexpected developments.

Martin Kemp said: “If you thought The Kemps: All True made you laugh… that was nothing, wait till you see this one. It’s brilliant , bonkers, and so funny. It’s definitely a don’t miss over Christmas.”
Gary Kemp added: “It’s fantastic to reunite with Rhys and be joined by our incredible cast for The Kemps: All Gold. We’re taking our adventures to a whole new level of dysfunction this time, and we can’t wait to share the laughter and mayhem with our fans.”
