From the archives -- I'M A TEAPOT by Geisha Girls, 1983 - the first music video I ever directed. It was featured on Channel 4's The Tube one memorable night in 1983 when Frankie's Relax was first screened, then us, followed by Queen's Radio Gaga -- three very different debut videos which proved how eclectic the music scene still was then. I believe the other bands did quite well after - our vinyl single eventually reached no. 10 in the Indie Chart in 1984 but we'd run out of steam a year later.
That was quite a night -- 4 hours after the girls were broadcast live from Newcastle we were performing on stage at Reading University -- great memories...
The line-up was Anne De Lima, Lez Hanibal and Jilly Myhill on vocals, Greg Muden on guitar, Mark Chapman on keyboards, Iain Aird (Sprog) on bass and Kevin Drain on drums. Mark Chapman
