The original line-up included Paul Jones on bass, Dafydd Ieuan on drums and keyboard player Clancy Pegg. Ieuan and Clancy fled when the band signed to Blanco Y Negro to be replaced by guitarist Owen Powell and drummer Aled Richards. Dafydd went on to join Super Furry Animals! |

Cerys claims that her influences are The Wombles, Pippi Longstocking and the Sex Pistols. Obviously! |
