Memories From John O’Sullivan via Rex Brough

“Before I joined, the band also included Tracey Tracey (of the Primitives) and Rob Lord on keyboards (formerly of Cov band Oskar Kokoshka) The band changed names a couple of times, finally releasing one CD single under the name HEDY, before crumbling under the weight of public indifference.”


Pete Chambers – from Godiva Rocks
” Court and Williams along with Neil Champion formed Starpower. Tracy was also to feature in the project. Other offshoot bands from the Primitives were The Fixations, Hedy who released the single Superfine, and Reverb Inferno. See See Rider, Nocturnal Babies, the Bensons, Hate, who became Hungry I, that included Dullaghan and Martin Bates.”

HEDY (1996)

Hedy were post-Primitives band led by Paul Court. Following the breakup of The Primitives Paul formed “Starpower,” which released two singles (Turn My World / Drifter) before changing names to “Hedy,” a name that comes from the title of a film for which Lou Reed wrote music.
