On the latest episode of Mega Music Memories we talk to Steve Grant and Denise Waterman from the 1980s pop group Tight Fit.
Alongside Julie Harris, Steve and Denise grabbed everyone’s attention in 1982 when their cover version of The Lion Sleeps Tonight shot to the top of the UK and Irish singles charts and their follow-up track, Fantasy Island, also broke the top five in both countries.
Tight Fit are releasing new music again 40 years after first capturing our hearts, with their latest single, Fallout, being released towards the end of last year.
Steve and Denise reflect on their remarkable early careers and the peak of their chart-topping fame and tell us about what they’ve both been up to since, taking us right up to the present day where they’re due to release their new album later this year.
