DANCING ON THE TABLES BAREFOOT~THOSE WERE THE DAYS - 2CD SET~TARA BLAISE grew up in the rambling hills near Aughrim, County Wicklow, Ireland. She says, "We lived quite remotely and had plenty of space. My siblings and I were always dressing up, making bands, singing and putting on plays for our parents."Tara formed Les Legumes at 16 then went professional as a backing singer with The Wilde Oscars, followed by KayDee, signed to EMI. When KayDee broke up, a mutual friend hooked her up with Corrs manager John Hughes, who was looking for a vocalist to feature on his solo album 'Wild Ocean', released in 2004 by 14th Floor / Warner UK. Tara contributed lyrics and vocals to two songs on 'Wild Ocean'. Tara also completed a course in Drama at Dublin's prestigious Gaiety School of Acting.Struck by her individual approach to melody and lyric writing, John Hughes offered her an album deal on his own Spokes label, and straight away sent her to Los Angeles to work with producer Olle Romo (Eurythmics, Bryan Adams, Shania Twain, The Corrs).The album 'Dancing On Tables Barefoot' was completed at the end of 2004, and straight away a single was presented to radio. BBC Radioplaylisted 'Fool For Love', a moving ballad of lost love featuring solely Tara's voice and a string quartet, and she had arrived.A large amount of work followed, including photo shoots, rehearsals, regional promotion, and Tara's first live shows.
