BOYS FLOP FOR GIRL GROUP!

Terry and Danny from chart-topping band Fifth Avenue have admitted that
they once auditioned for a girl group. The two hopefuls turned up for
auditions for Bellefire but didn’t get the job!
“It’s not as stupid as it seems!’ says Danny. ‘At that stage Bellefire
was planned to be a boy/girl group and there were loads of blokes
there”.
Having failed the auditions for the girl group, the boys set about
forming their own boy/girl group. The result was Fifth Avenue who have
already enjoyed great success in Ireland with their hits Spanish Eyes
and Party All Night.
Fifth Avenue and Bellefire eventually worked together when the two
groups toured Ireland last year.
“They are fantastic girls”, say Danny, “very warm as people and very
talented. They’d make you want to settle down and get married!!”
Fifth Avenue are currently sailing up the charts with the new hit
“Sometimes When We Touch”.  The single is currently number 5 in the
midweek chart and the group are hopeful of having their first number one
when the official chart is announced on Friday.

Fifth Avenue’s single “Sometimes When We Touch” looks set to be their
biggest hit to date. Early indications put them at number 5 in this
week’s chart and, with a nationwide tour currently in progress, they may
well go all the way to the top!

Ireland with Spanish Eyes and Party All Night but they have yet to have
a number one.

enthusiastic about having a major hit at home.
“It would be fantastic to have a number 1 in Ireland”, said Jessica
Molloy, “our home territory means an awful lot to us. It’s where we
first played and got recognition.”

Maurice". The film is directed by Jean-Marie Poiré whose previous

coming months. Spanish Eyes will be released there on May 21st and the

*************

Fifth Avenue's new single ‘Sometimes When We Touch’ has stormed in to
the airplay charts as the highest new entry this week. Not only that,
but it did so after it was only available for the latter half of the
week.
Overtaking stiff competition from established international was no
problem for the popular Irish outfit. Acts such as Garbage, Sugababes
and Ryan Adams have not fared aswell as Fifth Avenue in the Airplay
charts. The chart itself is compiled from the amount of plays given to a
particular record by radio stations throughout the country.
“This is typical of the support we have been given by Irish radio
stations”, added singer Beverley O’Sullivan. Each time we release a
single we are given solid support by Irish DJ’s and programmers. They
are very fair, they play the good ones and politely pass on the
others!!”.
‘Sometimes When We Touch’ looks like being Fifth Avenue’s third top ten
hit when it is released on April 12th.

**************

Fifth Avenue release their third hit single “Sometimes When We Touch” on
April 12th.
Danny, Bev, Mark, Jessica and Terry have already enjoyed considerable
success with their first releases “Spanish Eyes”and “Party All Night”
both scoring top ten hits.
'Sometimes When We Touch' was originally a hit for Dan Hill and this new
version has been produced by Corrs producer Billy Farrell. With a
spectacular video shot in Majorca and a cool remix by Mark McCabe, this
looks like being their biggest hit to date.
Currently ensconced in a studio completing their debut album, Fifth
Avenue come out of hibernation for some national appearances over the
coming weeks.
Having recently support Shaggy, the band are also in preparations for
their tour with Westlife which starts in Belfast on April 19th.
