Their debut single ‘We Close Our Eyes’ was released in the spring of 1985.  It reached number 5 in the UK charts and became a top 10 hit in the USA.  This ‘overnight’ success was followed by three further UK top 10 hits – ‘Call Me’, ‘Goodbye Girl’ and ‘Don’t Look Down’.  The album ‘Go West’ sold 2 million copies worldwide and remained on the UK chart for 83 weeks, establishing them as one of the finest song-writing partnerships to emerge in the 80’s.  In 1986 they won the BRIT Award for ‘Best British Newcomer’ – the one BRIT which was decided by the listening public.

Six albums and 20 million sales later, Go West have enjoyed numerous chart singles worldwide, notably ‘King Of Wishful Thinking’, the opening song in the extremely successful film ‘Pretty Woman’.  The film’s soundtrack has sold over 10 million copies.  ‘King Of Wishful Thinking’ received ASCAP Awards in 1991 and 1992 as one of the most played songs on American radio.  ‘Faithful’, the second single from their ‘Indian Summer’ album received similar BMI Awards in 1992 and 1993.

The band played live shows all around the UK in 2022 and 2023, including 4 hugely successful Orchestral shows with The Southbank Sinfonia. A special edition box set was released to coincide with this tour.
