Peter Cunnah and Alan Mackenzie from D:Ream are our guests on the latest episode of Mega Music Memories.

D:Ream had three UK Top 10 hits in the 1990s and 12 Top 40 releases, including most famously, Things Can Only Get Better which spent four weeks at the top of the UK singles chart in 1994.

After going their separate ways in 1995, Pete and Al bumped into each other again totally by chance in 2008, prompting them to collaborate on their third studio album entitled In Memory Of... a few years later. 

The guys have been working on music together ever since and in 2021 released their fourth album Open Hearts Open Minds.

Fragma's former vocalist Maria Rubia is our guest on the latest episode of Mega Music Memories. 

The multi-talented singer, songwriter, actress, model, TV presenter and DJ shot to fame in January 2001 when she collaborated with the German trance group on the single Everytime You Need Me, which got to number 3 in the UK chart and earned Maria a silver disc.

Maria went on to achieve further Top 40 success later in 2001 with her solo track, Say It, collaborated with Akyra on a dance mix of Here Comes The Rain Again by Eurythmics and with Double N on Forever And A Day, which was used as the theme tune for reality TV juggernaut Big Brother in Denmark and Sweden.

As well as reflecting on her overnight success and time in the spotlight - such as appearing on Top Of The Pops on a precariously tall and small platform - Maria talks to us about what she's been doing since including her inspiring journey back to health after a period using a wheelchair.

We also hear about what's next for Maria, including a film role and new music she's working on that's expected to be out this summer with international DJ and producer Chelsea Singh.

Our guest on this episode of Mega Music Memories is American singer Kym Sims, who won the hearts of UK music fans in 1991 when her track, Too Blind To See It, climbed to number five in the singles chart, spending seven weeks in the Top 10. 

Two more singles were released from Kym’s album, also called Too Blind To See It - with Take My Advice and A Little Bit More climbing to number 13 and 30 in the chart respectively in 1992. 

Kym talks to us about her early years recording jingles for TV ads; the stunning success of Too Blind To See It; working with house music legend Steve “Silk” Hurley; her songwriting credits including Keep On Walkin’ by CeCe Penistone; and her more recent music working with writer Thomas Arambula and house music producer Scott Featherstone.
