Coming up on Chimes, ’80s Indie pop band The Pooh Sticks were notable for their jangly melodiousness and lyrics gently mocking the scene of the time. Hue Williams has continued to make great music (we featured his latest group Swansea Sound recently) and we feature some of his very short and sweet pop tunes.

As well some Starry-Eyed pop groups, The Feelies, Mother Island and the Hummingbirds.
