When Bananarama were formed, Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward were living at a YWCA in London and were about to be made homeless. They met Siobhan Fahey, were offered a place to live, formed a band, and the rest is history!
Bananarama were initially inspired by the punk and post punk music scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s. They often performed unplanned sets or backing vocals for acts such as The Ham, Iggy Pop, The Monochrome Set, The Professionals and Department S.
Have you ever wondered where the name Bananarama came from? It was actually inspired by a similar sounding song by the 1970s English band Roxy Music. Roxy Music’s 1973 single was called Pyjamarama, and some of you may even remember a 1984 video game of the same name!
Bananarama’s success on both pop and dance charts has earned them a listing in The Guinness Book of Records as the all female group with the most global chart entries. The group had ten UK Top 10 hits, including It Ain’t What You Do in 1982, Robert De Niro’s Waiting in 1984, and Love in the First Degree in 1987.
Many massive British music acts have failed to make it big across the pond, but that is notthe case with Bananrama, who had a massive number one hit in the US. Can you name the song? It was 1986’s Venus, which was a cover version that had already been a number one hit all the way back in 1970, for the group Shocking Blue.
Just like Kylie, Jason, Rick Astley, Sonia, Sinitta and many others, Bananarama once had songs produced by Stock Aitken Waterman, an English songwriting and producing trio consisting of Mike Stock, Matt Aitken, and Pete Waterman. However, unlike the other acts mentioned, Stock Aitken Waterman’s production duties for Bananarama only consisted of a f...
In 1988, frustrated with the direction she felt Bananarama was taking, Siobhan Fahey left the group and formed Shakespears Sister, with American singer-songwriter Marcella Detroit later becoming an official member. Shakespears Sister’s 1992 single Stay spent eight weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, and won the 1993 Brit Award for Best Bri...
Did you know that two of Bananarama’s original members were married to male 80s pop music legends, with one couple still being together today? Siobhan Fahey has two sons by Eurythmics star Dave Stewart, but sadly they divorced in 1996. Keren Woodward lives near Wadebridge in North Cornwall with her partner Andrew Ridgeley, formerly of Wham!
We’re pleased to report that you can still see Bananarama performing, occasionally with the three original members. The group, including Siobhan Fahey, most recently toured the UK in late 2017, as well as North America in 2018. Were you lucky enough to see them in action?
Not only do the girls still perform live, but in recent years Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward released a brand new album called In Stereo. The album has seen three singles, they being Dance Music, Stuff Like That and Looking for Someone.

Oct 3, 2019 · Bananarama’s evolution into titans of pure pop seems wholly natural. They’ve paid their dues as icons of quirky DIY punk pop, now they’ve happily embraced something a little more refined. “We started with a real indie phase, some really unusual records and collaborations – and we loved that sound.
