Before there was TLC and Destiny’s Child, there was
Banananarama. The all female trio topped the charts in the ’80s with their songs Cruel Summer and Venus and it looked like they had many years ahead of them. Then in 1989, a year after their last live show, Siobhan Fahey quit the band after some in fighting.
I heard a rumor that says fast forward to this past Christmas, Keren Woodward and Sara Dallin called their long lost bandmate and suddenly there is a tour was in the works. Fahey told The Sun, “It’s pretty nerve wracking for me, it was 29 years ago that I left so I’m rusty to say the least.” Even though she might be a little rusty, she felt the time is right for the reunion that has been almost 30 years in the making.
This Wednesday, tickets go on sale in The UK for dates starting in November. But if Robert De Niro’s Waiting has been for all of this time for it to happen, then we can wait another 6 months to see them live again.
Hopefully, Bananarama will cross the pond because I would love to see them here in The US!
