Cats UK were a British four-piece all-girl band who had an October 1979 UK hit with the single, Luton Airport (right).

The record, which reached No. 22 in the UK charts, was inspired by the 1977 Campari advert (itself inspired by the Leonard Rossiter/Joan Collins Cinzano ones) in which the actress Lorraine Chase responds to Jeremy Clyde's line 'Well you truly wafted here from paradise' with the reply, 'No, Luton Airport!.

The band ironically featured Deena Payne who is now in Emmerdale with Lorraine Chase.
