In Episode #194 of The XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar sits down with Eddi Reader and Mark Nevin of Fairground Attraction to discuss Beautiful Happening, their first album in 35 years.
Fairground Attraction is best known for their 1988 Number 1 hit, Perfect, as well as their two BRIT Awards and platinum-selling debut album. However, the band split shortly after their success and didn’t speak again—until now.
Reuniting after 35 years, they’re back with a new album, Beautiful Happening, a heartwarming story of reconciliation paired with a stunning record. Eddi Reader’s vocals have never sounded better, and to top it off, the band will be hitting the road for a UK tour just days after the album’s release!
Eddi and Mark discuss getting back together, writing and recording the album, upcoming live shows, and more in this interview. Listen to episode #194 of The XS Noize Podcast with Eddi Reader and Mark Nevin – BELOW:
