Go West

Go West

The Brit Award winning duo, Go West, will be joining us at the Spa this November! They will be supported by Steve Brookstein.

Their debut single ‘We Close Our Eyes’ was released in 1985, it reached number 4 in the UK charts and became a top 10 hit in the USA.  The success of ‘We Close Our Eyes’ was followed by three other top 10 hits – ‘Call Me’, ‘Goodbye Girl’ and ‘Don’t Look Down’.

Their self- titled album GO WEST sold 1.5 million copies worldwide and established the pair as a chart force and as one of the greatest singer-songwriter duos to emerge in the 80’s.  They became the focus of media attention, gracing covers and making numerous TV appearances.  In 1986 they won a BRIT Award for ‘Best British Newcomer’.

Their second album ‘Dancing On The Couch’ was released in 1987.  The singles ‘True Colours’, ‘I Wanna Hear It From You’ and ‘The King Is Dead’ were all top 30 hits.

In 1992 their third album ‘Indian Summer’ was released.    This album contained their single ‘The King Of Wishful Thinking’, the opening song in the hugely successful film ‘Pretty Woman’.  The soundtrack album from this film has sold over 10 million copies world-wide. ‘The King Of Wishful Thinking’ received an ASCAP Award in 1991 and 1992 for one of the most played songs on American radio and ‘Faithful’ the second single from this album, received similar BMI Awards in 1992 and 1993.

‘Aces and Kings’, the album released in 1993, was a collection of their Greatest Hits and the single ‘Tracks Of My Tears’ a re-working of Smokey Robinson’s classic, was released from this album and entered the Top 20 singles chart.

Since then they have been touring the UK constantly selling out venues everywhere and their fan base seems to be ever increasing.
