Naked Eyes Quotes
I was walking across Pultney Bridge (in Bath) when I saw Rob being accosted by a girl with a large temper. My group 'Studio' had recently broken up, and by the look of it so had Rob's (the girl was the singer in his band 'Whitewing'). I intervened on his behalf (she could have taken both of us) and we retired to a local hostelry to debate the pros and cons of being in a band. Two hours later we had a brilliant plan! We would write songs, get a publishing deal, use that to get a record deal and then have a hit record. Four years later we were an overnight success.

I was born in London, Rob Fisher in Cheltenham. Rob's early bands were The Xtians and Whitewing. My first band was a duo, me and a guy called Jeff Starrs, we played all the pubs and clubs in Bath during '76-77. He went on to form 'Interview' which released a couple of albums on Virgin. Manny Elias was the drummer. I formed 'Studio' around the same time with Clive Wright on guitar, Richard Fenton on drums and Stash on bass. We played extensivly in England and did a tour of Sweden in '79. We cut a couple of songs for Island Records but disbanded when Clive and Richard left to live in LA. Clive and Richard went on to form 'Broken English' and Clive played in 'Cock Robin.'
