Remember these band from the early 90s, lead singer Siobhan Maher was originally a CBBC presenter.

 

California Dreaming

 

What's Wrong With Dreaming?

 

Walking On Ice

 

Say Something Good

 

Special Way

 

When I Was Young

 

 

I remember them I especially liked "Special Way", they were the Scouse version of Texas.

 

Do you remember the Anglo/American duo Siobhan formed afterwards.........

 

Kindred Spirit - Here In My Eyes (1995)

 

with Debbi Peterson (the drummer from the Bangles).

 

 

So Siobhan whose River City People scored their biggest hit with California Dreamin' formed a duo with a Californian who's breakthrough came with a song called "Going Down To Liverpool"!

I always thought they were from Glasgow for some reason!

 

My most abiding memory of them was when they performed California Dreaming on the old CBBC show 'What's that Noise?' - a show which always ended with a big jam session featuring all musicians featured on the show. So, there may well have been nose flutes, bassoons and kids armed with rice krispie 'shakers' on that particular recording.

 

I guess the CBBC connection explains why they turned up there then!

i dont know them....lol.

I have a few of these singles - What's Wrong With Dreaming, California Dreamin' (which was a double A side with Carry The Blame) and Say Something Good, all of which I still have somewhere. Good, but not spectacular, group who had their biggest hit with a cover version of California Dreamin' in 1990. Their preferred choice of A side, Carry The Blame, wasn't radio friendly due to its lyrics being about the effects of an abortion on a young woman.

 

My favourite is What's Wrong With Dreaming which was a minor hit in the hot summer of 1989 - sadly it peaked at #70 during a week when Jive Bunny were at #1!

I have the singles What's Wrong With Dreaming and California Dreaming too, both from the summer of 1990.

Also have their last single 'Standing in the need of Love' (No.36 1992).

 

I bought What's Wrong With Dreaming when it was first issued back in summer 1989. It cost me 79p for the 12" single, the local record shop was a chart return shop so sold many new releases for 50p for 7" and 79p or 99p for the 12".

 

I forgot the song was rereleased in 1990.

Their cover of the Mamas & Papas hit California Dreamin' was actually a Double A-side with Carry The Blame

 

It was their biggest of 6 hits peaking at #13 in 1990

Didn't realise that was released before.

 

I know a lot of songs were re-issued and became hits 2nd time lucky in the late 80s/early 90s.

Danny Wilson, Climie Fisher and Bros all flopped first time round.
