“It never worked having a management style where someone would try to tell us what to do. It's never been the sort of group that we are.”

English singer and songwriter

Keren Woodward is an English singer and songwriter, born in 1961, best known as a founding member of the girl group Bananarama. With Sara Dallin and Siobhan Fahey, she helped form the group in 1979, and she has remained one of its constant members. Bananarama reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1986 with its version of "Venus". Woodward and Dallin are the only members to have stayed with the group throughout its long history, and Woodward’s public profile is closely tied to that run of pop success.
