The British group, made up of friends Caroline Barnes, David Ducasse, Natalie Powers and Russ Spencer will be with on 1st September for a day not to be missed! Scooch represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki with their song “Flying the Flag (for You)”. The song reached number 5 in the UK Top 40 Singles Chart on 13 May 2007. It continues to hold the record for the highest charting UK Eurovision single in over 12 years… since we last won the competition in 1997. We’re all looking forward to seeing them on the day.

Scooch won a contest on BBC One’s Saturday morning show Live & Kicking in 1999. They competed against a boy band to have their single released. Even though the bands were already formed, this contest was unique as it pre-dates the format of the first music talent reality show to air in the United Kingdom, ITV1′s program Pop stars in 2000, from which the band Hear’Say was created.

Their debut single “When My Baby” charted within the Top 40. This prompted a tour supporting the Irish girl band B*Witched, and promoted their second and biggest single “More Than I Needed to Know”. It entered the UK Singles Chart at number 5, and went on to see a global release (including Japan where it hit the top of the record chart).

A promotional support tour for boy band Five provided the group with the foundation for their third single “The Best Is Yet To Come” which charted at number 12 in the UK. The group recorded their debut album “Welcome To The Planet Pop” which was released to Top 20 success in Japan. “More Than I Needed To Know” reached number one in Japan, and due to its popularity there, it was featured in the video game DDRMAX2: Dance Dance Revolution 7thMIX. Scooch performed at every Arena in the UK and spent a year as Ambassadors for the Children’s Health Authority.

Scooch’s fourth and, until they reformed, final single came in the form of the flamenco-inspired “For Sure” which made number 15 in the UK. It was followed by the UK version of their album entitled “Four Sure” which peaked just outside the UK Top 40 which considering the relative success of their singles, was a disappointing position. Due to this position the band were dropped by their record label and privately split. Prior to this, ‘Music To My Heart’ was announced as the next single release as a double a side with an unrecorded dance track but both were ultimately unreleased. The group briefly reformed in January 2004 to perform at G-A-Y’s Gone But Not Forgotten night in front of a crowd of excited fans. The success of this prompted the band to do a tour of several gay venues and events around the UK.
