groups and performers in the early 1980s, consisting of Angus Deayton, Michael
Fenton Stevens, and Philip Pope of the UK radio series Radio Active. Their first
single was "Meaningless Songs (in Very High Voices)" by the Hee Bee Gee Bees, a
parody of the Bee Gees. The 'band' consisted of the three Cribb (Gibb) brothers;
Garry (Barry), Norris (Maurice) and Dobbin (Robin), performed respectively by
Deayton, Fenton Stevens, and Pope. It was written by Pope and Richard Curtis,
released by Original Records in 1980, reached number two in the Australian
singles chart and made an appearance on the UK Indie Charts. Fenton Stevens and
Pope later collaborated on the parody song "The Chicken Song", which reached
number 1 in the UK in 1986. Michael John David Westbrook OBE (born 21 March
1936) is an English jazz pianist, composer, and writer of orchestrated jazz
pieces. He is married to the vocalist, librettist and painter Kate Westbrook.
Andy Pandemonium was formed in the late summer of 1979 in the South Wales
industrial town of Llanelli. The band members had played together
previously in various combinations on the local scene, but the summer of 1979
saw keyboard player Paul “Nick” Nicholas write a series of distinctive songs
that effectively combined the eccentricity of the less self-indulgent aspects of
1970s British rock with the urgency and energy of the post-punk new wave.
Nick had previously featured in Llanelli-based folk rockers Carraig Aonair
alongside drummer Pete Mason, and the pair had previously played with guitarist
John “Sioni” Davies and bassist Gareth Phillips in numerous local
ventures. Aware of the need for audience friendly presentation of the
material, the band decided to recruit singer, sax-player, accordionist and all
round dramatic performer Roj to complete the line up. Andy Pandemonium
entertained audiences until 1983 with their variety of unusual quirky tunes such
as Mine's a Lamb Kebab and I don't seem to be quite Normal. Data was Norwegian
