1. ....a band called The Pookah (sp.? ) Makes Three. Song played on the radio once (I recorded it) called "Time After Time".

2. A Bigger Splash . A band produced by Sting. song is "I Don't Believe a Word".

3. Hilary (song: "Drop Your Pants" )

4. the Bunnydrums

Specifically, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about who these bands were....where from, who was in the band, how many albums/EPs they might have had, what connections they might have had with other bands, etc. I have cassette copies of one song by each artist and always wondered who exactly the band was !
Thanks in advance, everybody !

2. I ran into A Bigger Splash a lot while at Westfield College, University of London. They played local venues a lot - Moonlight/Starlight Club in West Hampstead particularly. Three-piece with an upbeat calypso/rock sound - the guitarist had his guitar
