Bucks Fizz, currently known as OBF or The Fizz, is an English pop group, and like many other Eurovision bands and groups, they had a changing lineup. They were formed in January 1981, specifically for the contest in Dublin. They are most noted for their performance, having Nolan and G rip off the skirts off the female members, Aston and Baker.
Making Your Mind Up was the group's debut single and during the aftermath of the contest, it shot to No.1 in the UK charts. They also had varied successes in the UK and their worldwide record sales have exceeded 15 million.
Today two versions of the group exist:
- The official group, now known as OBF (Original Bucks Fizz), after a legal spat with Bobby G
- A three-member version who tour under the names of Baker, Aston and Nolan. The trio made a cameo appearance during the first semifinal of the 2023 contest in Liverpool.
