T-Coy

T-Coy was an early Manchester-based UK house project consisting of Mike Pickering (Hacienda DJ, Quando Quango, M-People), Simon Topping (A Certain Ratio) and Ritchie Close. 'T-Coy' allegedly stands for 'Take Care Of Yourself'. One of their well known tracks was "Cariño" which has been featured on several dance compilations.
In 1988, a collaboration between T-Coy and A Guy Called Gerald with vocals by Annette Reis under the name of Annette was released as a single on the Deconstruction label.

Peel played their Cariño and I Ain't Nightclubbing tracks from the group in the late 80's during the rise of the house music scene. He also played a track from Annette (collaboration between T-Coy, A Guy Called Gerald and Annette Reis) on his 10 January 1989 show which preceded another Annette track, who was Annette Funicello, an American actress and singer who was popular in the 1960's.
