(scroll down for the story)



The Saint Etienne connection: Signed to Icerink Records run by Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs. Released singles in 1992 and 1993 and then disappeared.

For the Anglo American 12 Inch, Golden were Canny Golden (Candida Richardson), Celina Golden (Celina Nash), and Lucy Golden (Lucy Gillie).

For the Wishful Thinking 12 Inch/CDEP the line up slightly changed with Lucy Golden (Lucy Gillie) leaving and Sophie Golden (Sophie Nash) joining.

Notes: Lucy Gillie appeared in the first video for Saint Etienne's single Only Love Can Break Your Heart. Celina Nash, a girlfriend of Bob Stanley, appeared on the album cover of Foxbase Alpha, introduced Sarah Cracknell to Bob and Pete, was the voice of the waitress on So Tough, and also appeared with her sister Sophie Nash in the Video for Pulp's single Babies. The video was filmed in Bob and Pete's flat in Tufnell Park.

Where are they now: Candida Richardson is a Director of Photography and Filmmaker working in London, Celina Nash is an Educational Technologist working for a university in Canada, and Lucy Gillie is working for an environmental organization in Glasgow. Sophie works in the education, health sector in the UK.
