Popped In, Souled Out marked their debut and launched one of the UK’s most successful pop careers. Released in 1987, it featured their debut hit Wishing I Was Lucky and also delivered huge songs such as Sweet Little Mystery, Angel Eyes (Home and Away) and Temptation.

While original frontman Marti Pellow has long since gone on to forge a solo career and appear in the West End, the group is still going strong.

In 2018, it unveiled Kevin Simm, former Liberty X member and 2016 winner of The Voice, as their new lead singer. They undertook a hinge UK last year and have been playing more intimate shows this year to support their latest album, Strings Attached, which sees the Scottish sweethearts revisit their songbook in a stripped back style.
