Biography

On the 4th April 1981, history was to be made as four relatively unknown singers Mike Nolan, Cheryl Baker, Bobby G and Jay Aston, collectively known as Bucks Fizz, represented the UK at that years Eurovision Song Contest.
Bucks Fizz performed the timeless classic tune “Making Your Mind Up”, together with the now famous skirt ripping dance routine. This was one of the most up tempo songs of the evening and with only two rounds of voting to go, it was a three way tie between Germany the UK and Switzerland. Switzerland were yet to vote and gave eight points to the UK, but Nil Points to Germany. Despite the final jury giving Germany maximum points, Bucks Fizz won the contest.
This victory was to set them up for a career that was to be as successful as any British Eurovision winner before, or since. They went on to be one of the most popular bands of the 80s with a string of hit singles and albums.
“Making Your Mind Up” was a number one for the group in nine different countries and received gold disc status in four countries… This was promptly followed by a further two top twenty hits “Piece Of The Action” and “One Of Those Nights” and a self titled album which went Gold in the UK and Platinum in Australia.
