girlintheblue Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I loooooooooooooved Bucks Fizz..... I was only 7 when they won Eurovision. I remember being allowed to stay up to watch the results as they were favourites to win!! Loved them from that day on. I saw 3/4 of the original group on the Here and Now tour in 2004! I cried when they won!! Lucky you seeing almost the original lineup. That will never happen again as they all hate each other. I take it the missing quarter was Jay Aston?

Blue Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 They definitely have that retro 80s look. I knew it would come back. Am just sitting waiting patiently for the perm to make a comeback. That would be amazing. Damn straighteners have ruined my hair!!! Their standard answer when you talk to them about the 80s and the fact that the 80s were so good: 'Yeah of course, we were born in the 80s' I love it. I love everything 80s and I love the fact that guys who were born in the 80s themselves like the 80s so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I really so old?? I feel the same as when I was 12!! (she says, supping on red wine...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girlintheblue Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Sarah! Perms are fab!!! I only had to wash my hair twice a week as opposed to every single day like I do at the moment. I could get my afro comb and fluff it a bit, and it was good to go. I love perms. Just waiting for Jennifer Aniston to set the trend and off I'll go.

girlintheblue Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Do they??? Yes, Jay Aston was missing, but her replacement (Shelly Preston?) was there, so it was almost the real thing! Well...Bobby G fell out with Mike Nolan, not sure why, so he (Bobby) went and formed his own Bucks Fizz - then Mike and Cheryl got cross and went to the courts etc. However, the Bucks Fizz that does the cabaret circuit now is the one with Bobby G. There is some other version with David Van Day - not sure if it's the same one as Bobby's - he could be the replacement Mike Nolan. Don't know what Cheryl and Mike are doing now, but I know they are good friends. Sigh. I need a life. I shouldn't know these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 It is weird that about the eighties isn't it? Jake was born in 1986 and he just LOVES 80's music Two female friends of mine were born in the 80s too (1981 and 1984) and they love 80s music too! My friend from 1981 went to see Duran Duran, Simple Minds and the Police on their recent reunion tours. With my friend from '84 (who was with me in Dusseldorf) I'm going to see the Cure next month - and it was her idea! My youngest sister was born in '83 but she is not into 80s music at all.
