North Of Cornwallis. The one song I have is a nice bit of indie-pop as included on the NME C86 box set, consisting of 72 tracks across 3xCDs, as issued on Cherry Red Records back in 2014:-
mp3: North of Cornwallis – Billy Liar
Info is hard to come by. The song was written by Lester Noel and Robert Adamson. The former was previously part of Grab Grab The Haddock, a band that had been formed by Jane and Alice Fox following the disbanding of Marine Girls (the first band in which Tracey Thorn was ever involved).
I’ve also found that Lester Noel later joined Beats International, the dance group formed by Norman Cook and who enjoyed a #1 hit with Dub Be Good To Me in 1990.
North of Cornwallis don’t appear to ever have released any singles, EPs or albums, with just a couple of tracks making it into compilations back in the day or retrospectively.
And that’s about it………………….
