Considering Dexys' high turn-over of band
members and the quality of musicians involved it is hardly surprising that many ex-Midnight Runners went on to be
in other bands. This page features a small selection of songs performed by people who have been a part
of the Dexys story together with links to pages about those artists. The selection of groups and songs is updated regularly
so please call back soon to sample more Dexys-related rarities. To celebrate the recent CD release of Kevin Archer's post-Dexys
material, the latest batch of updates all have a Blue Ox Babes theme...
"EAST TO WEST" (Alt. version)
Alternative, unreleased version of track from
the new CD "Apples And Oranges" , 2009.
The Blue Ox Babes
Kevin Archer's post-Dexys outfit whose 1988 album
"Apples And Oranges" (featuring many ex-Dexys players) will finally be released on 18th May 2009 by Cherry Red Records.
Piano player with the Blue Ox Babes 1987-88, Pete has continued to write and perform ever since and now records his
compositions at his own Headline Music Sound Studios - including this excellent song featuring the fiddle of former Blue
Ox Babe (and Midnight Runner) Steve "Brennan" Shaw.
Violin player born Helen Bevington who was discovered by Kevin Archer
at Birmingham School of music and invited to play on the Blue Ox Babes' early demos. Subsequent spells with Dexys and
as a solo performer have led to a long and successful career in music. This recording also features Woody Woodmansey
on drums.
