(JP: 'The Killjoys. There's Kevin Rowland, vocals, from London; Mark Philips, guitar, Birmingham; Lee Burton on drums from Bilston (actually, not too sure where Bilston is, don't know where it is at all. Doesn't matter a great deal, probably); and then on bass, also from Birmingham, someone called Ghislaine Weston. I think it's pronounced giz-lain, I'm not entirely sure, but Jeff Griffin, who's produced the session, has put a useful little note to explain all about it. It says, "Although Ghislaine is obviously a French name, she's not of French parentage, say like Jean-Jacques Burnel, or Maurice Chevalier, or Maigret. As far as she knows, her mum saw the name on television." Well, why not indeed.') 1
