Ted Key & The VIPs – London 0 Hull 40
In 1986 The Housemartins released their debut album London 0 Hull 4 — but the story began even earlier.
1985 marks 40 years since The Housemartins first signed to Go-Discs — with Ted Key as their original bassist and a key part of their early sound and spirit.
To celebrate this milestone, Ted returns with his new band The VIPs to perform a live set inspired by that era. The show features fresh renditions of tracks from London 0 Hull 4, performed by one of the men who was there at the beginning — before the record deal, before the fame.
It’s a personal, powerful tribute to the roots of one of Hull’s most beloved bands — and a celebration of the journey from London 0 Hull 4 to London 0 Hull 40.
