that was it the Invisible Girls - Pauline Murray. I always thought they were great and I heard Mr Cooper Clarke the other month on Radclife and Maconie - he's out touring again. The day My Pad Went Mad - a great contribution to the world of music! I heard Jilted John being played over the tannoy in the interval the other day at a comedy gig - and it reminded me that Peel used to play him, Patrik Fitzgerald and Cooper Clarke as a sort of continuation of the great Ivor ...

didn't he play with some else too? A stint in Siouxie or something? I can remember Peel commenting that Bill and Pete Hammill were part of a very small band of people that he would always listen to what they released as he rather suspected that they knew more about music than he did... and he knew a lot!

Great to hear that Red Noise live set - I never saw them live at the time, though I saw Bill solo a few years ago (sadly, not the Be Bop reunion either, just solo instrumental stuff). I think that he, and Hammill too (saw Van der Graaf the other week!) would occasionally pop into the show for a chat. Bill would bring along new material, which was later released on his fan club label (I think I'm recalling all this correctly...)


I don't think he ever played with Siouxsie, but he was in the Invisible Girls, a backing band (supergroup) for Pauline Murray and John Cooper Clarke, which also included Pete Shelley, Martin Hannett and Vini Reilly among others.
