Bananarama experienced their greatest success during the period from 1982 to 1989. Their first three albums were primarily produced and co-written with Jolley & Swain. Their debut album, Deep Sea Skiving (1983) contained several hit singles - "Really Saying Something" (#5 UK) and "Shy Boy" (#4 UK) - and included a cover version of "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" (#5 UK). The band recorded a version of the Sex Pistols song "No Feelings" in late 1982 for the soundtrack of the British film Party Party.
The next album, Bananarama (1984) included hit singles "Robert De Niro's Waiting" and "Cruel Summer", which was included in the movie The Karate Kid. Bananarama were also one of the few female groups featured on the Band Aid single "Do They Know It's Christmas?", and were the only artists to appear on both the original 1984 Band Aid and the 1989 versions.
In 1986, some of the group's production duties on the album True Confessions were taken up by Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman known as Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW). This move resulted in the international number one hit "Venus". "I Heard a Rumour" followed and also "Love in the First Degree", which was to become one of their biggest UK hits.
Bananarama will be joined on the big day at the home of Worcester Warriors by The Human League, Belinda Carlisle, Heaven 17 and T'Pau - making this a not-to-be-missed 1980s revival party on the stadium pitch this summer.
