Bananarama’s first taste of chart action came when they caught the eye of Fun Boy Three’s singer Terry Hall and he invited them to duet on the 1982 song It Ain’t What You Do (It’s The Way That You Do It). Bananarama began life in the flat above the Sex Pistols’ former rehearsal space in Denmark Street, London and the trio took the inspiration for their name from Roxy Music’s song Pyjamarama.

Bananarama were dreamt up by YWCA flatmates Sara Dallin (born Decemin Bristol) and Keren Woodward (born Apin Bristol), who met Siobhan Máire Deirdre Fahey (born Septemin Dublin, Ireland).
