What a blast to be joined by singer, songwriter, musician Debsey
Wykes on this episode of The Paul Weller Fan Podcast.In 1978, she
formed the British post-punk pop-band Dolly Mixture with
guitarist, Rachel Bor and drummer, Hester Smith.We'll hear about
their journey from complete amateurs to John Peel sessions, to
supporting The Jam in the Summer of 1980 and signing to Paul
Weller's Respond Record label...They were part of the initial
label line up with The Rimshots , The Questions and Tracie!Whilst
on the label, they released two singles, Been Teen in 1981 and
Everything and More in 1982 - both produced by Captain Sensible
and Paul Gray from The Damned...We also hear how, in 1982,
something rather odd happened as Captain Sensible unexpectedly
had a huge summer feelgood hit with a cover of the South Pacific
song, Happy Talk - which featured Dolly Mixture on backing
vocals.Find more information , including a playlist of the music
