Bucks Fizz


Bucks Fizz are an English pop music group, formed in 1981 to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest that year. They won with "Making Your Mind Up", which is still their best-known song. The group was initially made up of four vocalists: Bobby G, Cheryl Baker, Mike Nolan and Jay Aston, whose gimmick was that they were all blond. The group went on to have a successful career around the world, although their biggest success was in the UK where they had three No.1 singles and became one of the top-selling groups of the 1980s. Their worldwide record sales have exceeded 15 million. Jay Aston left the band in 1985 and was soon replaced by Shelley Preston. After a few changes within the band and a fragmentation of the band due to Bobby Gee's creation of his own Bucks Fizz band, the band hasn't stopped touring. Originally as a 3-piece band with Shelley Preston, since 2009 original member Jay Aston returned and now Bucks Fizz continue touring as The Original Bucks Fizz, minus Bobby Gee. On May 24, 2010 they released a new version of their 1984 hit, I Hear Talk, as a stripped down jazzy version. It is also expected that they record a new album in the near future plus a DVD of one of their recent shows. It is important to mention that they are considered as the U.K. version of ABBA.
