Bardo (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Australian "Popstars" girl-group, see Bardot.
Bardo was a male/female pop music duo (Sally-Ann Triplett and Stephen Fischer) formed to represent the United Kingdom in the 1982 Eurovision Song Contest with the song "One Step Further". Triplett, a children's TV presenter (Crackerjack), was previously a member of the UK's 1980 Eurovision act Prima Donna. Fischer was a singer and actor.
Bardo's Eurovision performance was criticized for nerves and for placing more emphasis on the dance routines than the singing , yet the song remains a firm fan favourite. "One Step Further" came in 7th place in the competition and was the act's only UK chart hit, reaching number 2 for one week. Subsequent Bardo singles would include "Talking Out of Line, produced by Andy Hill, and "Hang on to Your Heart".
