Who is Barbara Gaskin?
Barbara Gaskin is a British singer who, with her musical partner, the keyboardist Dave Stewart, formed a duo in 1981. In September of that year they had a number one single in the UK with a cover version of the song "It's My Party". Subsequent singles "Busy Doing Nothing", and "The Locomotion" also entered the UK Singles Chart, without reaching the heights of their debut release. Five albums followed, released on the duo's own Broken Records label. Gaskin and Stewart continue to work together and occasionally play live concerts with Andy Reynolds on guitar.
Gaskin was formerly lead vocalist in British folk-prog band Spirogyra. In the 1970s she also sang backing vocals in Stewart's band Hatfield and the North.
