Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward reminisce about their Bristol schooldays, being teenage punks, and nights at the Wag ClubSara Dallin and Keren Woodward reminisce about their Bristol schooldays, being teenage punks, and nights at the Wag Club Harriet Gibsone Harriet Gibsone Sat 23 Jul 2022 12.00 BST Bristolians Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward were the founding members of Bananarama. From teen punks to club kids and mainstream pop mainstays, the childhood friends, along with Siobhan Fahey, went on to become one of the most successful girl bands of all time with hits such as Venus, Love in the First Degree and Robert De Niro’s Waiting. As well as holding the record for the most international hits for an all-female group, they’re renowned for their shifting lineup: Fahey left in 1988 and Jacquie O’Sullivan took her place until 1991, and Dallin and Woodward relaunched as a duo the following year. Their 12th album, Masquerade, is released on 22 July.
