Laurel & Hardy (2)

Laurel & Hardy are Paul Dawkins, born October 1962, London, England/UK and Anthony Robinson (2), April 1962, London, England/UK. Before entering the reggae scene in 1978 the duo tried their luck at performing soul but found the DJ style more absorbing. Their songs feature humourous and topical subjects such as video piracy, police harrassment, the threat of nuclear war and road safety. Their debut record on Fashion Records, 'You're Nicked' led to them performing a session on John Peel's radio show in October 1982, which has not been commercially released.
Signed to CBS, they went on university tours supporting Pigbag, and later supported by Benjamin Zephaniah. However their first CBS single 'Clunk Click' only got to number 65 on the UK chart and they did not have much further commercial success.
