The Fizz have announced their first ever Christmas album will be released next month.
Christmas With The Fizz
The group - made up of Bucks Fizz founding members Cheryl Baker, Jay Aston and Mike Nolan - continued their storied career with 'The F-Z of Pop' last year, and now they're set to unveil a collection of festive songs.
'Christmas With The Fizz' is set to be released on November 16, and Jay found it difficult as she recorded her vocals before undergoing treatment for mouth cancer.
She said: "This has been a very unusual time for me with my health issues developing during the recording of the album - I am happy to report things are much better now! "We are so happy with the album and we hope you agree. Merry Christmas everyone ...now I realize every day is like Christmas."
Her bandmate Cheryl revealed how special the festive season has been for her and her family, and added how excited she was to get the band back on stage together.
She explained: "Christmas is without doubt my favourite time of year so to release a Fizz album at Christmas is a dream come true! My parents were married on Christmas Day and I was proposed to on Christmas Day so it has always been more than just Christmas to me.
"The best Christmas present this year is that Jay will be back on stage with us."
And Mike picked out his favourite songs, and said the hot weather during the sessions certainly gave it an unusual twist.
He added: "What a thrill it was to be in a studio singing 'White Christmas' and 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town' and it's 82° outside.
"What a great time we had doing it in shorts and T-shirts, and to have Jay fighting fit again is really the greatest present of all."
