Two People was a mid-1980s British band consisting of Mark Stevenson (lead vocals/guitar) and Noel Ram (guitar/vocals). They released a number of singles between 1985 and 1987, scoring two minor hits on the UK Singles Chart with the songs "This Is the Shirt" and "Heaven". They featured on BBC Radio 1 In Concert in 1985, backed by their live band Brad Lang (bass), Ian Penman (keyboards) and Steve Creese (drums).
Their record producers included Nigel Gray, Neil O'Connor and Chris Porter. T
The band were signed to Polydor Records, but despite much promotion, their singles failed expectations and were dropped before releasing an album.
In the 1990s, Noel Ram became a drum and bass producer, performing and remixing a number of singles, under various names such as Amen Addict, Arcon 2, Ascention, False ID, Fink, Leon Mar, Obscure, Oil, Prohibition, Torus and Trilogy.
Links to Peel[]
Peel was fond of some of the band's synth pop material and played their tracks on his shows between 1985 and 1986. When Noel Ram became a drum and bass producer, Peel played some of his solo material under the name of Arcon 2.
