Artist Info: B Troop

Formed in late 1979 by Kevin Donoghue who quickly recruited John Leek and Peter Wainwright.

The band was a direct influence from a meeting between kevin donoghue and Phil Oakley and Martyn Ware of the Human league in Sheffield at the Christmas break in 1978. Kevin had been playing bass with the Sheffield punk band 2.3, who supported the human league at the Sheffield's Limit club.

2.3 shared rehearsal rooms with Cabaret Voltaire and hung out with the Human league and the Cabs in a pub called the Bee Hive on West Street, Sheffield. [read more...]
