Girls@Play, they had a cover of Mel and Kim "Respectable". Rita Simons was in them

Mark from A1 was my first celeb crush 
Does anyone remember Frank? They had a show on T4 called Totally Frank.

A few duff bands I remember were :
Deuce (one of which was Ant Mcpartlins ex Lisa Armstrong).
Faith, Hope and Charity (I think Dani Behr was one third)
Shampoo uh oh we're in trouble (trouble) yeh yeh

Yup
Loved a1 and went to many a roadshow stalking them
Still follow them all on Instagram, Ben's missus has just had a baby and they live in Norway, Paul lives in the North East with his wife and kids (his dad used to run a pub in Whitby, and Paul dj'ed there), Christian is doing loads of solo stuff and Mark is still single and in panto (I'm convinced he's gay... and nothing wrong with that!).
Saw Mark in a touring musical a couple of years ago - A Spoonful of Sugar (about the Sherman Bros). It was actually very good and I did indeed fangirl when I met him at the stagedoor, despite being in my 30s
In terms of 90s bands - does anyone remember OTT, Mero and the girl band Solid Harmonie?
Anyone remember Journey South. They finished third or fourth in an early series of Pop Idol / X Factor.
There was a time when Fuzzbox seemed to be constantly on TV. Certainly well out of proportion to any commercial success they ever had.

Back in the days before phone calls were screened, it had to happen sometime.
Great update re A1, they were on The Big Reunion series 2 and Paul refused to join the reunion, it seemed like he had fallen out with all the others. I vaguely remember them saying Paul hadn't enjoyed A1 starting to put out more mature songs like Caught in the Middle.Yup

I remember Solid Harmonie "I want you to want me" and another song what went "boom boom, every little beat of my heart" (or was that N Tyce? Confused now. Mariama from SH joined Honeyz.
OTT were awful, poor man's Boyzone mainly doing naff covers and wearing the baggy shirts and floppy haircuts popular at the time. I remember Let Me In, Story of Love, All Out Of Love. One of them was a contestant on the Voice of Ireland a few years ago and later was in the papers for groping someone at a work Christmas party

Honeyz
They were from the 80s.
Won't Take It Lyin Down is a choooon.
Fuzzbox went mainstream, glammed up which was their mistake, still got the Radio Fuzzbox tape.
These photo's were taken with a Kodak Disc Camera, this is why the quality is naff.
I remember these! "We've got a fuzzbox and we're gonna use it!". I'm sure they still 'tour' ..
Are we including one hit wonders too out of interest?
That video is cheesy even by 90s standards…wow lol x

Stefan Dennis from Neighbours
Worlds apart. Naff boy band. Mid 90’s. I think I had a teenage crush on one of them. 
The Reynolds Girls 'I'd rather jack'
Wee Papa Girl Rappers

Curve were once the darlings of the NME Indie press. They had some minor success but that’s it. They were always a bit too alternative to be regarded as pop.
Toni Halliday the singer was Elite Hot though.

One True Voice (beaten by Girls Aloud)
Geez The Reynolds Girls. Seemed to genuinely believe they were the rebellious voice of a generation.
Two indie bands that never really made it either were Powder and Geneva
