Biography

Origin

1992-1998

In 1992, Les Respectables won first place in a competition run by Montreal radio station, CHOM-FM, and the band also reached the grand final of Yamaha Music's "Sunfest" held in Gimli, Manitoba, Canada. Les Respectables subsequently released their first album, entitled No Dogs, No Band, in 1993. Despite an exhausting promotional tour, the success of the album remains modest.

The quartet is able not only to rant and rage, and get the crowd going, but it has also been delivering its own uncompromising compositions since it began performing. With a half smile, they describe their music as “calypso-rock” with touches of reggae and rhythm’n blues.

After the band broke up he moved into management and when I met him in 1993 when he managing a Sunday Sport Roadshow taking scantily clad all over the country. We had a chat when  the girls were invited to make an appearance at the club I was working at in Welwyn Garden City and he seems surprised, pleasantly, when I said are you the guy who used to be in Marmalade. But, prior to that he managed women with clothes on and Mel & Kim were two of them.

    The Appleby sisters were born in London’s East End; Kim in 1961 and Melanie in 1966. Mel, with her mother’s encouragement, began modelling and eventually made it to page three of The Sun.
