The magnificent UK's trio "Stock Aitken & Waterman" have been awarded a blue plaque from the Southwark Heritage Association to honour the team’s contribution to UK music.
The plaque has been installed at their
former music studios in Borough, near London Bridge. Mike Stock, Matt
Aitken, and Pete Waterman all attended the unveiling at Vine Yard
Studios, where they created the majority of their hit records.
The trio
said: "We're naturally very pleased to have been awarded a Heritage
Blue Plaque. We're grateful to the Southwark Heritage Association and
Southwark Council for this honour. But we also feel this is as much for
the fans who voted for us and for all those who have stuck with us over
the years".
The unveiling of the plaque comes just ahead of the 40th anniversary of the trio’s first No.1 hit, "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" by Dead Or Alive, which reached the No. 1 in March 1985.
