Happy Birthday to Helen OHara..1956, Born on this day, Helen OHara, Dexys Midnight Runners, (1982 UK No.1 & 1983 US No.1 single Come On Eileen)....OHara began her music career in her home town of Bristol joining Gunner Kade, a band led by Ken Pustelnik, drummer from The Groundhogs. She then joined a band called Wisper, who combined their solo career with backing various artists. Wisper evolved into Uncle Po who won the BBCs Quiz Kid band competition in 1977, subsequently releasing a single on the BEEB label Use My Friends (so rare, that a copy sold in 2006 on eBay for over £80). Uncle Po included Rob Williams on guitar and Gavin King on vocals. And one of my fav songs of all time. Top Ten with ease!
