Bucks Fizz (band)

Bucks Fizz is a British pop band that was formed in 1981 specifically for the Euro Vision Song Contest 1981.

Since 1974 ABBA had won the contest, it was in Europe generally of the opinion that a band with two male and two female members would have the best chance of victory. In this case, the UK was right: Bucks Fizz won with Making Your Mind Up. Then you decided to leave the band consist on. In the years 1981 and 1982 get two more number-one hits. After 1988, the success did not materialize, the band still exists today in changing cast, only Bobby G. is left of the original cast.
