About Me

"Harlequyn would have been bigger than Blur" - Christian O'Connell, Absolute Radio

Harlequyn was a seminal UK 80's rock band with a glam/goth angle. Releasing two singles and one album through Voltage Records / Plastic Head Distribution, the band had rave reviews and a big UK following. Tours included dates with Ghost Dance, Uriah Heep, Tygers of Pan Tang, Skeletal Family, Dr. & the Medics, Salvation, Excalibur, Zodiac Mindwarp and Baby Tuckoo. The band reunited in 2007 for a show at Bradfords Gasworks. They are currently recording an album of brand new versions of their best loved songs from their 5 years together. The first mixes will be up on myspace soon!
