Natalie Imbruglia was the tart. Kylie Minogue, the drunk. And Sinead O’Connor was the unit mother. This is what they called themselves during their surprise incognito appearance with former Eurythmic Dave Stewart on the British television show TFI Fridays. As backup singers for Stewart's performance, they came disguised in wigs and evening gowns, and instructed the show's presenter, Chris Evans, to introduce them as “The Tart, The Drunk, and The Unit Mother.” The show was taped Friday today in London. They performed “Happy To Be Here,” the first single from Stewart's new album Sly-Fi, released on the Internet via N2K’s Digital Artists label. For more information, visit www.davestewart.com. Stewart and the lovely ladies also performed a medley of two Eurythmics songs, “Love Is a Stranger” and “Sweet Dreams,” with O'Connor singing lead on the latter song. Brian Eno also performed, playing the omnichord on all of the songs. Meanwhile, Stewart is writing new material with Eno, as well as with Imbruglia and O'Connor.
