Jay Aston Discography

Jay Aston (born 4 May 1961, London) is a singer who was formerly with the British pop group, Bucks Fizz. She was the youngest member of the group`s original line-up. Aston came from a theatrical family. Her father was a comedian, her mother a former dancer before she became her husband`s straight man. They also performed as acrobats. Her brother, Lance, had performed at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1980 with the band Prima Donna. Aston herself trained as a dancer, singer and actress at the Italia Conti School of Speech and Drama and performed on stage many times in her teens mainly as a dancer.

Aston was one of the four original members of Bucks Fizz when they were formed in 1981 to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest that year. They won with "Making Your Mind Up" and the song went to No.1 in many countries, including the United Kingdom. The group went on to become one of the top selling groups of the 1980s and scored many hit single and albums over the next few years, including two more British No.1s; "The Land Of Make Believe" and "My Camera Never Lies".

Before Bucks Fizz, Aston had ambitions to become an actress, but her career in this field encompassed only minor roles in To the Manor Born and Citizen Smith. In 2008 Aston was cast as Claudia Brite in the film The Last Days of Edgar Harding which was filmed in August 2008 and is due to be screened in 2009.
