USA gigs & TV fun

The Bananarama ladies have been incredibly busy since their arrival in the USA.

Music TV station VH1, even commented on their tour in an article.  Here is the link:  Bananarama Support Pinktober  Journalist Jordan Runtagh describes them as 'beautiful brits' and their opening date as a 'joyous PG-rated rave'. 

The great thing about this article is that they comment on the 1989 world tour, with Keren saying describing that period as 'the best time of my whole life'. 

The ladies also appeared on BetterTV (see video) for a short but nice interview.  Sara described touring as like being on a school trip.  Hard work but a lot of fun!

Hard Rock Tampa posted a short video of the ladies signing some electric guitars and saying a few words to promote 'Pinktober'.  Check out the website: https://www.hardrock.com/philanthropy/pinktober/pinktober-2012.aspx

I can't explain how much I've enjoyed watching the fan videos from the tour dates so far.  It's clear that Bananarama fans know how to party and that there are some fine dancers amongst you!  Excitable doesn't even come close to it!

New York New York!!!!

Last nights Bananarama gig at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, New York was a knock out success!

As you know, aside from celebrating 30 Years of Bananarama,  this tour benefits cancer charities and this specific date was the launch of the Hard Rock's  2012 'Pinktober' campaign.

Prior to the gig, the ladies did a few media interviews and photos.  Keren wore a stunning electric pink number and Sara wore a fabulous black gown (which I believe was designed by the amazing Vivienne Westwood).

The Banana's posed for the cameras with the Pinktober merchandise and at one point they were selling some to customers!  Well, it is for charity, dahlings!

The setlist was a nice mix of old and new songs.  Of course, the most memorable hits were played to please the huge crowd of fans.
