Fizz fans are invited round to Cheryl Baker’s home for special Garden Gig this Summer.
The group, which is celebrating 40 years since bucks Fizz’s iconic victory at the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest, announced the live show in a Facebook post to their fan group on Tuesday (April 27).
“Would you like to attend the hottest GIG ever in the history of Fizz,” they penned. “Now is your opportunity!
“We are excited to announce a special one off ‘intimate’ gig with a full live band, to take place in none other than Cheryl Baker’s Garden!!!! (Located in a small Kent village just 15 minutes from Tonbridge).
“Your ticket price includes a meet & greet photo opportunity with The Fizz after the gig, a Fizz goody bag & of course entry to the gig!
“Entry will begin from 2.00pm. Show begins at 4.00pm. Meet and Greet from 5.30pm.
“So bring a blanket and a picnic and let’s celebrate with an afternoon to remember with The Fizz.”
Exact details of the concert location will be provided to ticket holders, however they advise the closest rail station is Tonbridge or Borough Green. More information and tickets, priced at £148, can be found here.
The concert announcement comes days after Retro Pop confirmed The Fizz are heading back into the studio with producer Mike Stock this week to finish up work on their new album.
The Stock Aitken Waterman legend reveals the group is to reunite before the end of the month to resume work on the project – the follow-up to their 2020 release ‘Smoke & Mirrors’.
“I’m just about to embark on another album with The Fizz. It’s been a difficulty to get them in the studio during lockdown, but we’ve set the date for it,” he says.
To mark four decades since their victory, The Fizz hosted a massive day of live stream events on April 4, featuring “interviews, stories from the past, songs, quizzes,unseen photos and a few surprises.”
Additionally, the group has also announced the release of a new coffee table book, featuring photography of the band from throughout the years.
“The book will feature lots of unseen photo shoot shots and photos from the groups personal collections,” promised The Fizz. “Some real gems!”
Cheryl previously teased big plans for the group in 2021, revealing: “It’s our 40th anniversary next year and we are really excited about it!
“There’s all sorts of fabulous things in the pipeline… the main thing is that we’re going into the studio with Mike Stock to do album number four for The Fizz.”
It was also confirmed the group had booked a gig at Indigo at The O2 to celebrate their 40th – however the show has been put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
