Bananarama, Martin + Shirlie Kemp and Will Young are offering personalised, signed copies of their new memoirs.

Bananarama’s Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward are releasing their first-ever autobiography, Really Saying Something, on October 29th, revealing the stories behind the Venus hitmakers, who “inspired a generation, obliterating all previous notions of what a girl band was or could be”.
