Often
derided by critics, Bucks Fizz produced a wealth of tremendous pop records and
this book is a celebration of the group and their music. It examines every
track on every studio album as well as B-sides, bonus tracks, compilations,
solo and related material to provide an insight into a much-loved but
critically underrated group.
In January 1981,
the four members of Bucks Fizz – Mike Nolan, Cheryl Baker, Jay Aston, and Bobby
G – met each other for the first time. Three months later, they were catapulted
to international success when ‘Making Your Mind Up’, with its now famous routine,
won the Eurovision Song Contest and raced to the top of the charts in nine
countries, selling four million copies worldwide. Bucks Fizz went on to become
one of the most popular groups of the 1980s, with 20 UK hit singles, including
two further number ones with ‘The Land Of Make Believe’ and ‘My Camera Never
Lies’, and the Ivor Novello-nominated ‘Now Those Days Are Gone’. The group
survived a near-fatal coach crash and a lineup change to return triumphantly to
the UK top ten with ‘New Beginning’ in 1986.

David Waterfield supports Wolverhampton Wanderers, drinks copious amounts of tea and writes for Midlands Rocks. He was a teenager in the eighties and consequently finds himself owning concert memorabilia that is older than some of the people he now works with. He has a degree in English Literature from the Open University, has had poems published in several anthologies and being a self-confessed Bucks Fizz geek has led to his first book for Sonicbond. He lives in the West Midlands, UK, with an ever-expanding record collection.
