Martin and Shirlie Kemp release first album together

Individually Martin and Shirlie Kemp were part of two of the biggest bands of the 1980s but until now have never worked on music together.

Now for the first time in their careers the Kemps have joined forces to create a brand new album called 'In The Swing Of It'.

The idea came after an impromptu recording session with Martin, while working with Cher and One Direction producer Brian Rawling.

He invited Shirlie into the studio for the first time in over 30 years to help with a song.

The session made them realise how much they enjoyed recording together.

Shirlie hopes the album will get people singing along in their homes doing the cleaning or cooking the Sunday roast.

Martin and Shirlie's son Roman is currently in the jungle entertaining audiences in ITV's 'I'm a Celebrity...' with his impressions - a talent he showed from a young age.
