| Biography | Bananarama are an English pop group formed in by friends Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward. Their success on both pop and dance charts saw them listed in the Guinness World Records for achieving the world's highest number of chart entries by an all-female group. Between 1982 and 2009, they had 30 singles reach the Top 50 of the UK Singles Chart.
Fahey left the group in 1988 and formed Shakespears Sister. She was replaced by Jacquie O'Sullivan. This line-up had UK top five hits with "I Want You Back" (1988) and a cover of The Beatles' "Help!" (1989), recorded with comedy duo French and Saunders for the charity Comic Relief. In 1989, they embarked on their first world tour and had another hit with a new remixed version of "Cruel Summer". After O'Sullivan's late 1991 departure, Dallin and Woodward then continued Bananarama as a duo, with top 30 hits including "Movin' On" (1992), "More, More, More" (1993), "Move in My Direction" (2005) and "Look on the Floor (Hypnotic Tango)". Fahey rejoined Bananarama in 2017 and they toured the UK and North America. |
