the most chart successfull brighton(hove actually) stream was the Rockey Sharp variants.
Darts being the most prolific,Mary Wilson and Rockey sharp and the Replays grabbing a few Top Of the Pops airings.

The best Brighton born Band. Nicky And The Dots.

Fischer-Z were indeed from Brighton. Very famous abroad...

Chuffed to see the Popguns mentioned as I am also an ex-member. I used to get a lot of grief in far flung parts for wearing the Tesco Nobo shirt on stage (it was those times). Come to think of it, what was I thinking...?!

John Helmer who was in pookie etc etc was originally in the Piranhas. They released 1 album(maybe 2) but were originally a busking band

Wasn't Luke Cresswell in Pookie, and later went on to found Stomp? Could have that completely arse about face.

I used to do some design work for the company John Helmer worked for about three or four years ago. I remember seeing him on the night he got made redundant. But I don't think he remembers it.

Nope, thats all correct.
John Helmer is now a published authour - whether that pays his mortgage I don't know. Boring Bob Grover now has a new band called Dates, don't know whether he's still playing Tom Hark and Zambezi though....
