Who were the backing singers on Top of the Pops singing Breakaway? I recognise one of the girls. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe one on the left looks like the actress who played Jean Quigly (Sicknote’s wife) in London’s Burning. They were am dram players in that as I remember. One on the right could possibly be Rosemary Ford, not sure though.

DeleteAllison Thomas the girl with the dark hair and Amanda dickinson the fair haired girl were Tracey ullman back up singers and were also on most of her pop videos
ReplyDeleteWhen Tracy did a more recent HBO special of her past show, she did a revival of the Breakaway video and had 2 backup singers/dancers... I'm curious if she used the same 2 girls, just 20+ years on?
DeleteAllison Thomas reason she looks familiar is she used to be on Benny Hill show
