Is Tim Burgess from T'Pau the same person as Tim Burgess from The Charlatans? pomegranate 13:45, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

No! T'Pau (the band) was formed by the amalgamation of two Shropshire based bands... "The Dealer" and "Under The Sun".

The Dealer was a pop-based covers band fronted by Carol. I saw them play at a 6th form ball at New College in Wellington in 1979.

Under the Sun was a prog-rock based band based in Wellington (I have a limited run album which I bought off Paul Jackson (T'Pau bass) in 1978 when we were both in the same Business Studies class at TCAT.

Any word on if this band derived its name from the Star Trek: TOS character "T'Pau", the Vulcan high priestess who oversaw the divorce of Spock and T'Pring?

Yes, it's mentioned in the opening paragraph. I don't think any of them were huge Star Trek fans, though - I think they just stumbled across the name and liked it. --Bonalaw 11:06, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes, Carol has said in interviews that she had the telly on and the above mentioned episode was on had liked the name T'Pau (but this may be just what she tells people when they ask ... "Why did you call the band T'Pau?" --Jaster 13:58, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

There is now a birthplace conflict for Carol Decker listed in the T'Pau article and the Carol Decker article.--cmulgrew (talk) 09:21, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
