Show Notes
Welcome to another episode of pplpod! This week, we are diving deep into 90s nostalgia and the pulsating beats of 1990s dance music by exploring the history of the British group Clock. Originating from Manchester, England, this iconic Eurodance and hip house act was primarily led by producers Stu Allan and Pete Pritchard, and fronted by the dynamic duo of rapper Marcus Thomas (ODC MC) and vocalist Lorna Saunders (Tinka).
Join us as we track Clock's evolution from their early, harder electronic music roots to becoming chart-topping sensations. We discuss how they dominated the UK Singles Chart throughout the decade with nine Top 40 hits, largely driven by incredibly popular pop covers and dance anthems like "Axel F," "Oh What a Night," and "Whoomph! (There It Is)".
Beyond the music, we explore the personal stories behind the British pop group's eventual breakup in 1999. We also look at the post-fame lives of the core members, from Lorna Saunders' fascinating career shift from pop stardom into the legal profession, to the tragic passing of founding producer Stu Allan in 2022.
Whether you're an avid fan of 90s electronic music, fascinated by British pop groups, or just love classic Eurodance hits, this episode has something for you. Hit play to turn back the clock!
