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 since then, playing their first ever live concerts in 1997.
