British pop group Bucks Fizz have announced that they are set for a comeback more than 30 years after they last released new music.

The Eurovision winners have been back in the recording studio and will release The F-Z of Pop later this year, following the debut of new single Dancing in the Rain on Tuesday.

The group have rebranded as simply The Fizz after a bitter legal battle with former member Bobby G, who now legally owns the rights to the original name.

Bobby McVay has now joined the band in his place, joining Cheryl Baker, Mike Nolan and Jay Aston.

Their last album, Writing on the Wall, was released back in 1986 and only made it to number 89 in the UK charts.

It was re-released in 2004 and then again for a second time in 2012, but failed to make much of a chart impact.

“I cannot tell you how happy I am to have been back in the studio, my favourite place,” said Baker told The Sun.

Aston said: “Despite the challenges over the years, we are more united than ever. The fans have been with us all the way.”

The band’s best known single is their Eurovision-winning Making Your Mind Up, after which they released five studio albums between 1981-1986.
