An all-girl band’s quest for success, the sexism they faced in the 80s and their legacy today

- Fiona Sturges

Hello, Dolly!

The Cambridge post-punk band Dolly Mixture were an all-girl trio who formed at school and mixed rambunctious self-penned songs such as Will He Kiss Me Tonight? and Been Teen with covers of 60s girl group hits. In the late 1970s, they won the approval of John Peel and NME.

They wore polka dot minidresses, stripy tights and Dr Martens or platforms. Along with opening for acts including Madness and the Undertones, the band were once supported by U2 and appeared on Top of the Pops in 1982 singing backing vocals on Captain Sensible’s Happy Talk. But just two years later, Dolly Mixture went their separate ways.
