The EUROGLIDERS story begins in 1981, in Perth, Australia……the most isolated city in the world.
Within a decade of forming, EUROGLIDERS had recorded four albums, enjoyed a multitude of chart topping singles and been awarded a swag of awards from around the globe, for both music and video. But EUROGLIDERS truly began as a love story between a songwriter and a singer, both of whom had their own bands.
Today, some 25 years later, the relationship between that singer and that songwriter may have changed but the love of performing and their long enduring friendship continues every night on stage.
Grace Knight and Bernie Lynch met in Perth. Grace was lead singer for a band named ‘Lumiere’; and Bernie, lead singer for ‘Living Single’.
They met, fell in love and Grace took over the lead singing role for ‘Living Single’. They changed their name to EUROGLIDERS and suddenly everything changed……..their lives would never be the same.
The songs that Bernie wrote now took on a life of their own in Grace’s hands. Crowds doubled, then tripled, recordings were made, played on radio and record companies arrived at the sleepy, sun drenched hamlet of Perth with cheque books in hand, ready to sign the act.
Songs like ‘Heaven’, ‘We Will Together’, ‘Can’t Wait To See You’, ‘Absolutely’ and ‘The City of Soul’ became the songs of a young Australian generation. Life was a long dizzying ride to the top of the charts and ten Top Ten charting singles and albums were the result.
The next decade saw EUROGLIDERS travel the world, charting in countries like Japan and America. ‘Heaven’ was a top five hit on the Billboard USA charts and the band won numerous Countdown and MTV awards. A darling of MTV, EUROGLIDERS performed ‘live’ on MTV’s New Year’s Eve party in New York, broadcast to over 65 million people.
Grace Knight and Bernie Lynch may not be married anymore but their love for each other and the smiling warmth seen on stage every night are a shining example of the sheer joy that only music can provide.
