about
Those Helicopters were formed in Maidstone Art College Kent England. Members were Alan Robinson:Lead vocals and occasional guitar, Harland Cockburn:Sax and vocals, Andrew Barnden:Drums, Andy Woods:Guitar and vocals, Steve Maughan:Bass, Vince Whitlock:Keys and Dave Ives:Guitar. Marc Arscott was the manager and crashed the van, whilst tripping to f'ing Led Zepplin!! As well as the excellent singles listed here the band also recorded 'World Without Love'by Lennon and McCartney. The band could be described as Art school, New wave, Punk minstrels. No doubt there would be a row about this description of the band which demonstrates that punk groups were rarely, if ever, harmonious! Those Helicopters never officially broke up and lead vocalist Alan R can on occasions still be found in Lavender hill and Shepperds bush studios rehearsing alone.........I should know because the sad old bollox is my dad! submitted by Oliver Robinson.
