Bananarama is a British pop group formed in London in 1981 by childhood friends Keren Woodward and Sarah Dallin, along with their friend Siobhan Fahey. They gained international success with their self-titled second album, featuring the hit single "Cruel Summer". In 1986, they achieved worldwide fame with their cover of Shocking Blue's "Venus". Siobhan left the group in 1988 to form Shakespear's Sister. Since then, Sara and Keren have continued as a duo. They celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2022 with the release of their seventh album, "Masquerade".

Throughout their career, Bananarama has been recognized as one of the most successful female groups in pop history. Their achievements include entering the UK charts at number four with "It Ain't What You Do" and being named by Guinness Book of Records as more successful than The Supremes.

In addition to their music career, Bananarama has also made notable collaborations and appearances. They reunited briefly with Siobhan for a tour between November 2017 and August 2018. The duo released an autobiography titled "Really Saying Something" in 2020.

Bananarama's debut album 'Deep Sea Skiving' is available here on Blue Vinyl and Standard CD.

Bananarama burst onto the pop scene in 1983 with their debut album Deep Sea Skiving. With a DIY punk attitude and bags of charm the band soon became a mainstay of TOTPs, Smash Hits, the NME and The Face. Deep Sea Skiving contains the first of their string of immaculate, self-penned, ramshackle, charmingly naive pop gemstones. The album includes five hit singles: "Shy Boy", "Really Saying Something", "Cheers Then", "Aie A Mwana", and "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)." Bananarama are often cited as the UK's most successful ever girl group with five UK singles and ten top tens. They were the girl group that defined the '80s with their run of pop hits which soundtracked the lives of fans around the world. The news of Bananarama's reunion, after nearly 30 years, was met with universal approval and saw the band celebrated all over again. In 2017 the trio reassembled for a UK tour in a pop reunion only dreamt of in the wildest imaginations by many quarters. The band reunited in their original line up for the first time in years. For many, Siobhan stepping back into her natural habitat once again is pop's very own version of Morrissey and Marr re-uniting. Includes eight-page booklet.
