Apollinaires

The Apollinaires were a British 2 Tone/post-punk group from Leicester, England, signed to 2 Tone Records. The band formed in Leicester as a six-piece, composed of musicians from various local bands and students from the Leicester School of Art. Four members of the band had previously been in an industrial band named I Y A Volkswagens, which had released one single on Rough Trade Records called "Kill Myself".
The band's lineup included; Francis Brown (guitar), Tom Brown (guitar), Simon Kirk (percussion), Kraig Thornber (drums), James Hunt (bass), Paul Tickle (vocals), Chris Freestone (trumpet), Peter Millen (alto sax), Laurence Wood (tenor sax), Paul Hood (trombone) & Stephen Leonard-Williams (flute).
Eventually, however, the band split up due to the difficulties of co-ordinating their large number of members.
