Hear'Say in Nottingham

Hear'Say were a British pop vocal group formed through ITV’s Popstars in late 2000. The original lineup comprised Danny Foster, Myleene Klass, Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw and Noel Sullivan. Their debut single, “Pure and Simple,” and debut album, Popstars, both topped the UK charts; other releases included Everybody, “The Way to Your Love” and “Lovin’ Is Easy.” The group’s first national tour opened at Cardiff International Arena in August 2001 and covered 36 shows in 30 days, including arena dates in Birmingham, Newcastle and Sheffield. Kym Marsh was replaced by Johnny Shentall in 2002, and Hear'Say announced their split that October.
