King Of Wishful Thinking

Biography:

Go West are a British pop group. The duo formed in London, UK in 1982, with Peter Cox and Richard Drummie.

Go West quickly had a publishing deal and possessed a portastudio, but lacked a band or recording company. Peter and Richard decided, with support from John Glover, their manager, to find a musical producer, and record just two of their songs. The tracks We Close Our Eyes and Call Me found Go West developing a record deal with Chrysalis Records. The songwriting duo specialised in radio friendly, white soul sounds.
