Shirlie, one half of the famous pop duo Pepsi & Shirlie, was so kind to contribute personally to our homepage. Here is the details of what they have been up to since each of them took different paths in life:
Since Pepsi & Shirlie, Pepsi starting writing songs with other writers. She was also offered a part in the musical "Hair" - a 1960's hippy type musical. Of course she was great! She then went on to play Josephine Baker (theatre), her performance was exceptional. I must admit I did not know that she could act that well. She has done several other plays since, that I do not know the name of.Lately, she has been singing with Mike Oldfield (Tubular Bells) and will be touring with him this summer. As you can see she has been quite a busy girl!
Well, what happened to me?
I had a baby that I found impossible to leave with anyone else. That in turn changed my whole life. I realized that my career had to take a back seat.I lived in LA for a while whilst my husband (note: Martin Kemp, former band member of Spandau Ballet and now actor in Eastenders, for anyone who doesn't know yet) pursued an acting career.
I then had my second child and gave up all hope of ever being able to work again. I was offered to do some TV presenting but did not feel ready to give up looking after my two children.
I then got into song writing again with another writer, wrote a few songs that one embarrassingly got into the Eurovision Song Contest. I have not told anyone that before!
I did more travelling with my husband and children. Then, one day, Andros rang to ask if I would like to help out with the web site. He did say it will only be for 4 weeks, but here I am two years later!<<
