TEXAS

Formed in Glasgow over 20 years ago Texas are still going strong. Sharleen Spiteri and Johnny McElhone are the well-established songwriting team behind Texas. The pair have been writing together for over 18 years.
At the start of the new millennium, Texas had recorded five albums and had fifteen million record sales. The fantastic back catalogue includes debut album 'SOUTHSIDE', 'MOTHERS HEAVEN', 'RICKS ROAD' and cult comeback album ‘WHITE ON BLONDE' which sat in the top 40 for over a year thanks to hits 'Say What You Want', 'Halo' and 'Black Eyed Boy'. Sharleen and Johnny were also rewarded with a prestigious Ivor Novello award for the Best Song Collection.
The follow-up album 'THE HUSH' became their international breakthrough album, taking Europe by storm.
In 2000 Texas released their 'GREATEST HITS' album which included new material - 'In Demand' and 'Inner Smile' which went on to be hit singles.
After a 3 year break Texas returned with 'CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR'.
Their eighth album - 'RED BOOK' was released in October 2005 with the introduction of new band member keyboardist and programmer - Michael Bannister.
