 BIOGRAPHY:
Euphoria (U4IA) were an established and well-loved
live band based in East Anglia, England.
 Formed
in 1993, 'U4IA' performed a wide variety of cover
songs by many artists including ABBA, Depeche Mode, Erasure,
UB40, Human League, Culture Club, Yazoo, and Soft Cell,
plus a wide selection of UK chart hits and some
original compositions.
The popular duo, which comprised Mark Peach and
Neil Francis, combined modern keyboard sounds and
strong vocals to produce powerful and enjoyable renditions
of many familiar pop songs spanning four decades.
Euphoria developed a substantial following and
this website, launched in 2000, aimed to inform and
reflect the band's continual popularity that endured for
sixteen years.
By the end of 2007 other work commitments meant the
twosome were no longer able to accept regular bookings
together.
Fortunately, vocalist Neil formed his own solo live
act which is currently filling the void left by Euphoria's
absence. For full details please visit his website by

U4IA ANNOUNCEMENT:
It is with great regret that we announce Euphoria
will no longer perform together on the live circuit
for the forseeable future.
Since mid 2007, work commitments outside of the
band meant the duo were increasingly unable to gig
together, so vocalist Neil began to perform as a
solo act.
By late 2007, the growth in regular bookings for
Neil, combined with Mark's other work commitments,
sadly means both members of Euphoria have decided
the time is right to end on a high whilst still
popular.
With an incredible 16 years together, through many
ups and downs, Mark and Neil continue to be great
friends and have the utmost respect and admiration
for each other.
Euphoria leave behind a great legacy of 5 CD releases,
a number 1 hit in the Ukranian capital 'Kiev', plus
many happy moments shared with thousands of audiences
across East Anglia and the UK.
'Thanks to each and every one of you for
all your wonderful warmth, encouragement and support
throughout the years.
WE LOVE YOU XX'
Heading into the future sees Neil continuing to
please audiences with his solo act, the possibility
of Mark gigging on his own, and perhaps EVEN the
occasional Euphoria reunion!
This website will continue for now, though in more
of an archived format, and all future news &
gigs will be reported through Neil's Website:
www.neilfrancis.co.uk
The newsletter service will continue as usual but
under a different name:
'U4IA Upd8s' becomes 'NE!L !NFO' and will obviously
be focused on Neil Francis news & gigs.
If you wish to unsubscribe then details are included
in every newsletter.
THANKS FOR YOUR
SUPPORT xx |
