Sara Dallin

Singer/songwriter Sara Elizabeth Dallin was born on December 17, 1961 in Bristol, England. She first met fellow musician Keren Woodward at age five while attending St. George's School for Girls and studied journalism at the London College of Fashion. In 1979 Dallin and Woodward formed the all-girl pop group Bananarama with Siobhan Fahey. Bananarama enjoyed a steady succession of big hit songs throughout the 80s that include "Venus," "Cruel Summer," "I Heard a Rumour," and "Love in the First Degree." Fahey left the band in 1988 and was replaced by Jacquie O'Sullivan, who eventually left the group in 1991. Dallin and Woodward continue to tour and record as a duo as Bananarama. Sara was once engaged to Bananarama dancer Bassey Walker and gave birth to daughter Alice in 1991 (she and Walker have since separated).
