Page "Kimberley Rew" Paragraph 2

In 1981 Robyn Hitchcock began his solo career ; Rew and Cooper joined with Katrina Leskanich and Vince de la Cruz to form Katrina and the Waves.

The group survived a slow career climb by tours of RAF bases and Canadian club gigs, then teamed up with producers Pat Collier and Scott Litt to record Rew compositions " Going Down to Liverpool ", covered by The Bangles, and in 1985 " Walking on Sunshine ", which became the group's first and biggest hit, and only evergreen, remaining firmly in the public consciousness through frequent radio plays, appearances in films, advertising, etc.
