[edit] Sophie and Peter Johnston

Sophie and Peter Johnston (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This band doesn't seem to have any claim to notability other than performing the theme tune for a TV show that itself doesn't seem to be particularly notable. Their album didn't chart in the UK (the country of release), according to everyhit ([1]) and they haven't won any awards. CordeliaHenrietta ↔ Talk 15:07, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. Their single did chart in the UK, albeit at only #99, and the article describes some radio play. (Their official website claims rotation on UK national radio and further media coverage.) The Tube (TV series) article says "TX45" was actually the name of its theme tune, so that alone would qualify them under WP:BAND #10. Article needs work, not deletion.

  • Keep. Sophie and Peter Johnston are noteable for the high critical acclaim they received in the 1980's. They were championed by the influential radio 1 DJ and broadcaster, John Peel who was quoted as saying "Hearing them means as much to me as the first time I heard Little Richard". Their lack of chart success does not detract from their important contribution to music of that era. The band has a substantial cult following.2004tmark (talk) 22:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. per above. Wwwhatsup (talk) 05:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
