4th fan club anniversary!

Today is the fourth anniversary of the fan club's foundation. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all fans worldwide – also on behalf of Limahl – for your continuous loyalty and support. Certainly without a loyal fan base no community would survive!

Beginning of April the official KajaGooGoo Reunion Website went online. Just have a look and see what news the five have for you.


5 February 2008
KajaGooGoo reunion

Today we have some exciting news for you. After a staggering 25 years, it looks like KajaGooGoo will reform with all five original members, Limahl (vocals), Nick (Bass), Stuart (Keyboards), Steve (Guitar) & Jez (Drums).

The first gig has already been confirmed, the band will appear at Retrofest 2008 on 30 - 31 August 2008. There is also talk of more gigs and of writing/recording new material. So watch this space for the latest news.

Limahl thoughts on the reunion:

"... I am cautiously optimistic until the legal stuff is sorted - but I do genuinely feel something in the air which is partly to do with the intervention of the new manager Bradley Snelling who has cut through all the old emotional baggage with an outside perspective - his role is actually pivotal. So it looks like 2008 is going to be a very interesting year - the phone/emails have been busy since this 'reunion' avenue was opened. I'm excited about performing some of the 'White Feathers' album again (the only album we made together). With the passing of time I've come to learn and appreciate what a great job Colin Thurston did on the production - which makes it even more piognant after he sadly died of cancer in 2007 - god bless you Colin wherever you are. ..."
