Go West was formed by Lead vocalist Peter Cox and backup
vocalist and rhythm guitarist Richard Drummie in 1982 and is an English pop
duo. With their many successful single sales in their native country of the UK,
they are also very well known in the US for their singles ‘King of Wishful
Thinking’ and ‘Faithful’.
The first single released by the band was released in 1985 and became number 5 in the UK Singles Chart and in the US Dance Club Play Chart and number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100. The video for this song, created by Godley & Creme became a very early favourite on music channel MTV. Showing that although they were newcomers to the music industry they were catching the eye of the general public fairly quickly with their style of music.
Between the early years of 1985 when Go West first began to produce music and today, the band have had a number of successful albums and singles leading them to where they are now, with their first album reaching number 8 in the UK charts.
In addition to the number of successful albums and singles that reached a number of charts in both the UK and the US, Go West became commercially very successful and was even recognised as one of the most successful singer/ songwriter duos of the 80s.
Go West is currently touring with 6 performances at festivals in various areas of the UK performing with a number of different artists over the days. The dates for each performance are as follows; Saturday 25th May 2013, Saturday 8th June 2013, Saturday 3rd August 2013, Saturday 17th August 2013, Sunday 18th August and Saturday 14th December.
