Биография

Kissing the Pink formed in Glasgow in 1978 where Peter Barnett, Jon Kingsley Hall and George Stewart were studying at the Royal Scottish Conservatoire. Moving to London in 1980 we were joined by Nick Whitecross, Stevie Cusack, Jo Wells and Sylvia Griffin. Initially crammed into a piano practice room beneath a Royal College of Music hall of residence, early songs sounded like the unlikely union of Johny Guitar Watson, Supertramp and Tarkovsky. The name….the name….it came from the commentator of ‘Pot Black’ on uk tv saying “the white ball is kissing the pink” 2023 is the 40th Anniversary of “NAKED”! For this there are new songs to hear, remixed & reimagined originals, special limited edition vinyl releases and live shows to look forward to! (2021’s appearance at W-Fest in Belgium was our first gig for over 20 years & it was a triumph). The current line-up of Jon, Nick, Pete & Simon are all working towards our constant willingness to experiment and be different, dance but avoid the obvious, make comfortingly rhythmically crafted anthems for the lost, for the deep thinkers, for the outsiders, for the questioning, and for the lovers.
