Booking Bananarama

Bananarama is a highly celebrated British female pop group that emerged in the early 1980s with their catchy melodies and distinctive harmonies. Originally formed in 1980 by friends Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey, and Keren Woodward, the trio quickly became known for their effortless blend of pop, new wave, and dance genres. One of their most iconic tracks, “Cruel Summer,” released in 1983, continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.

The group gained immense popularity throughout the decade, achieving their first UK top-ten hit with “Shy Boy” in 1982. Their exceptional work earned them a place in the Guinness World Records in 1988, as they became the all-female group with the most chart entries in the world. Not stopping at commercial success, Bananarama’s 1986 album “True Confessions” featured the smash hit “Venus,” which topped charts in multiple countries, including the United States.

With over 40 million records sold globally and a career spanning more than four decades, Bananarama’s extensive discography includes albums such as “Deep Sea Skiving,” “Bananarama,” “Wow!,” and “Pop Life.” Over the years, their lineup has evolved, with Siobhan Fahey leaving in 1988 and being replaced by Jacquie O’Sullivan, who later departed in 1991, but the core duo of Dallin and Woodward continues to perform and record new music.

The group has been honored with numerous awards and nominations, including a Brit Award nomination and the celebrated Billboard Music Video Award for Best New Artist Clip with their song “Venus.” Renowned for their energetic live performances, Bananarama remains an enduring emblem of 1980s pop music culture, continuously captivating audiences with their evergreen hits and dynamic stage presence.
