The Fixx is a British new wave band formed in 1980. The group was formed by college friends Cy Curnin (vocals) and Adam Woods (drums). The pair placed an ad for additional members. Jamie West-Oram (guitar), Rupert Greenall (keyboards) and Charlie Barret (bass) joined the band as a result. Barret left after the first album and was replaced by Dan K. Brown, who remained with the band until 1994.
They are perhaps best remembered for their song “One Thing Leads To Another”, from their most successful album Reach the Beach from 1983. Their other hits are “Red Skies”, “Stand or Fall”, “Saved by Zero”, “Sign of Fire”, “Are We Ourselves?”, “Secret Separation”, “Driven Out”, “How Much Is Enough?” and “Deeper and Deeper” which was featured on the soundtrack of Streets of Fire. “A Letter to Both Sides” appears on the Fletch soundtrack.
The Fixx regularly tour the U.S., and recently celebrated 25 years of making music together. Curnin, West-Oram, Greenall and Woods are now joined by bassist Gary Tibbs (formerly Roxy Music, The Vibrators, Adam & The Ants). Cy Curnin can often be found on stage with a glass of wine in his right hand and an egg shaker in the left.

Cy,
I thank you for your continued dedication and support to this worthy cause. I sent a small donation as my way of saying thanks and as an additional contribution to LHS. I would have sent more but finances are tight!
I hope the nature of this trek and the spirituality encapture, enlightens, and inspires you! I look forward to purchasing a future Peru Rocks DVD to follow the journey and to see my favorites continue to rock the world! All the best to you and Jamie! Be safe and enjoy! (Wished I was going too!)
Sincerely,
