Gina, Jane and Tracey - Marine Girls, early 80's. 


Marine Girls were an English post-punk group from Hatfield, Hertfordshire. The group was formed in 1980, by two sixth form school friends: Tracey Thorn and Gina Hartman. Originally, Thorn just played guitar and Hartman was the lead vocalist and percussionist. Thorn overcame her shyness and started singing too by the time they started making records. They were later joined by Jane Fox on bass and her younger sister, Alice, on joint vocals and percussion. The group formally disbanded in 1983 with Tracey Thorn continued working with Everything But The Girl and the Fox sisters went on to form Grab Grab The Haddock.


Later, Tracey Thorn formed  EBTG with Ben Watts
