Archive material and source history
The Flying Pickets formed in Leeds in the early 1980s as an a cappella group. Their 1983 debut album 'Only You' featured a cover of the Platters song that became their biggest hit. They followed it with albums like 'Lost Boys' in 1986 and 'Blue Money' in 1988.
Their lineup changed over time, with original members including Brian Turner, Dave Dunsire, Ken Gregson, Ricky Cool, Red Stripe, and Gareth Gibson. Later members included Simon Brookfield, Basil Meade, Patrick Wilson, and Sylvia Mason-James. They recorded other covers like 'When You're Young and In Love' and 'Love Is All Around'.
In 1993, the group faced a legal dispute over royalties that led to several members leaving. They continued recording into the 2000s with albums like 'Twenty' in 2003.
