Early life
Born in in Bristol, England, Dallin first met Keren Woodward at the age of four while attending St George's School for Girls. They became best friends at the age of eleven, and later attended Rodway High School (now Mangotsfield). She went on to study fashion journalism at the London College of Fashion in 1979 where she met Siobhan Fahey.
Career
Dallin, Fahey and Woodward formed Bananarama and released their first single "Aie a Mwana" in 1981. The trio went on to have a string of top ten hits in the UK, including "Shy Boy" (1982), "Robert De Niro's Waiting" (1984) and "Love in the First Degree" (1987). They also achieved international success, including in the United States, where they had top ten hits with "Cruel Summer" (1984), "Venus" (number one in 1986), and "I Heard A Rumour" (1987). Fahey's replacement in 1988 was Jacquie O'Sullivan, with hits in this period including "I Want You Back" (1988). Dallin and Woodward were the only artists from the original 1984 Band Aid to also feature on the 1989 version. O'Sullivan left in 1991 and Dallin and Woodward continued as a duo until 2017, when they reunited with Fahey. In June 2017, the original line-up of Bananarama received the Icon Award at the Glamour Awards.
Personal life
Dallin was engaged to former Bananarama dancer Bassey Walker with whom she had a daughter, Alice, in 1991, but they later separated.
