sundance
简介
SUNDANCE was a group of three disparate musicians, who came together in early 1982. The group was formed by MIKE HURST (ex SPRINGFIELDS and Record Producer extraordinaire) MICHAEL de ALBERQUEREQUE (ex ELO) and MARY HOPKIN. They had little in common except music. Vocally they really hit it off, and their first recordings at Herne Place Studios with RAY FENWICK on guitar, STEVE PRICE on bass and STEVE DIMITRI on drums, enabled them to obtain a Licensing deal with Bronze Records. The first single ""What's Love"" involved the group flying around the UK in Gerry Bton's private jet promoting it. That spring they were booked on DR HOOK's tour of the UK. They appeared on numerous TV shows including The Parkinson Show, Russell Harty, Pebble Mill and even their own half hour special on Grampian TV. Sadly the single only charted in one country-South Africa! Things were starting to go wrong-namely Mary's health. For some reason she kept passing out! After she consulted a doctor she decided to call it a day in November that year. Sundance tried to continue but it was never the same and by the end of 1983 it was all over. Mike Hurst said ""I believed that Sundance could have gone on forever but only with the original line up. The initial idea of heavy acoustic guitars with Fleetwood Mac type harmonies was the right one, but it needed perseverance, a thing in short supply in the record business"".
