THE FABULOUS MARQUISES

The Fabulous Marquises was formed in 1980 by ex-JAB, Teenage Radio Stars and Models bass player Mr Pierre [Peter Sutcliffe]. The initial lineup was, Mr Pierre on vocals and guitar, Edward Clayton-Jones on guitar and synth, Katherine Denney on piano and organ and Chris Walsh on bass (ex-Reals/Negatives). The band had a sparse and electronic sound and a solitary single, ''Honeymoon / 1,2,3, Factory'' which was issued in September 1980. The single was initially included as part of the 'Unforgettable Music' Box Set of three singles, alongside Ron Rude's ''Piano Piano / The Chessmen's Excursion'' and Microfilm's ''Centrefold / Window''. Ron Rude (head of the Unforgettable Music label) produced The Marquises' single and also included the Marquises' track ''From My Heart to My Hands'' on the Various Artists album 'From Belgrave with Love' (1981) on Cleopatra. Edward Clayton-Jones was later in The Wreckery and Chris Walsh later joined The Moodists.
