Drive On. Middle of the Road. More Middle of the Road albums.

Middle of the Road is a Scottish pop group who have enjoyed success across Europe and Latin America since the 1970s. Before ABBA established themselves in the mid 70s, Middle of the Road were the sound of early europop with their distinctive harmonies and lead vocals from Sally Carr. Four of their singles sold over one million copies each, and received a gold disc: "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep". Sacramento", "Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum" and "Soley Soley".

As you will be aware, Sally suffered a Brain Haemorrhage in 2012 and then a stroke one year later. During Christmas 2016, She ventured on to the stage, singing to playback with Ken at Christmas Events organised by Chris Andrews and his wife, Alex.

Middle of the Road are a pop group from Scotland who enjoyed great success across Europe in the early 1970s. They had three major hits in the UK singles chart, all of them bubblegum pop classics: "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" (Number 1), "Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dum" (Number 2) and "Soley Soley" (Number 5), all in 1971.

Define middle-of-the-road. middle-of-the-road synonyms, middle-of-the-road pronunciation, middle-of-the-road translation, English dictionary definition of middle-of-the-road. adj. 1. Pursuing a course of action midway between extremes, especially following a course in politics that is neither liberal nor conservative. Skelmanthorpe's annual celebrity concert featuring Hayley Westenra - star of the middle-of-the-road circuit with mega album sales to her 18 year-old name - delighted its sold-out audience. Hayley delights a sell-out. Headed "Canada needs an abortion law," it joined the chorus of those pointing out that Canada is not behaving as an enlightened middle-of-the-road country when it comes to abortion. Time for a new abortion law.

One of those uniquely '70s groups, Middle of the Road were a Scottish pop vocal group whose singles "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep," "Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dum," and "Soley Soley" were huge European hits, selling in the tens of millions. Formed by Sally Carr (vocals), Ian McCredie (guitar), Eric McCredie (bass), and drummer Ken Andrew in 1970 (the group had been playing together since 1967, but under the moniker of "Part Three") Middle of the Road had trouble finding success until they uprooted from the United Kingdom and settled in Italy  . 1971 would see the release of their first single, the mega hit "Chirp Chirp Cheep Cheep," as well as an album of the same name. The song would reach the upper echelons of charts all over the continent and propel the once unknown Scots into the pop consciousness almost overnight.
