High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Voyager were an English pop-rock band, formed initially in Newbury, Berkshire, as 'The Paul French Connection' by Paul French (vocals, keyboards), Paul Hirsh (keyboards, guitar), Chris Hook (bass guitar), and former member of Mr Big, John Marter (drums). Although they initially saw themselves as a progressive rock group, they had to tailor their style to a more commercial mood, as evidenced by their debut single, "Halfway Hotel". It was their only hit, reaching No. 33 in the UK Singles Chart in 1979, and duly becoming the title track of their first album.A second album Act of Love (1980) yielded a turntable hit (heavily played on music radio without ever entering the charts), "Sing Out (Love Is Easy)". Part of the instrumental section of the single was used for some time thereafter as background music for the chart rundown on BBC Radio 1 each week.
