Twa Toots were a British indie pop band consisting of:
- Phillipa Richmond (Guitar, Lead Vocal)
- Sarah Brown (Bass, Vocals)
- Will Cassell (Drums)
- Frank Brown (Trombone)
When the band split up in the early 80's, leader Sarah Brown formed Sarah Goes Shopping, with Mark Litten of Trixie's Big Red Motorbike on guitar.
Links to Peel[]
The band sent a demo tape to Peel in 1983 and impressed by the material, had them do a session for his show during that year. After the group did their session, they largely disappeared, but their Peel Session EP was released in 1986 and the DJ would often play their 'Don't Play 'A Rainy Night In Georgia' on his radio programmes in later years.
