Sonia

Scouse songstress Sonia Evans shot to fame as a bubbly, ginger-haired, giggly popstrel with the Stock Aitken Waterman stable. Her debut single "You'll Never Stop Me Loving You" made number one on the UK chart, and the debut album "Everybody Knows" made top ten. Further hits followed including "Can't Forget You", "Listen To Your Heart", "Counting Every Minute" and "End Of The World".

Sonia then changed labels, enjoying further hits with "Only Fools (Never Fall In Love)", "You To Me Are Everything", and "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy".

Famously represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest, where she came second, losing on the last vote to Niamh Kavanagh's "In Your Eyes" after the Malta jury awarded douze points to the latter.

Sonia appeared on the ITV show "Reborn In The USA" where she famously clashed with seventies sparklers Dollar.

In 2007, a Greatest Hits album was released - an album that mysteriously omitted all of Sonia's Stock, Aitken, Waterman era material.

Long Tall Ernie and The Shakers

Long Tall Ernie and the Shakers was a Arnhem (NL) based rock and roll band. The Moans, named after an Art Blakey song, was in the mid-60s a musical excess of a number of Arnhem Art Academy students. From the first hour the band had pianist Herman Brood in their ranks. After Brood continued his career with Cuby and the Blizzards, the Moans continued for some time as Moan and Moan Nightmare. Moan ended in 1972 as a joke in Long Tall Ernie and the Shakers.
