Chris Hawkins presents Marine Girls in session from 1st of February 1982.

Marine Girls hailed from Hatfield in Hertfordshire, and formed in 1980 by two sixth form school friends: Tracey Thorn and Gina Hartman. Originally, Thorn played guitar and Gina was vocalist and percussionist. They were later joined by Jane Fox on bass and her younger sister Alice on joint vocals and percussion. The group sang minimalist songs about the sea, love and everything else.

From 1982, Thorn concentrated on her studies and her growing relationship with fellow Hull student Ben Watt. Marine Girls formally disbanded in 1983, and Tracey Thorn went on to achieve great success with Ben as Everything But The Girl, while the Fox sisters recorded as Grab Grab the Haddock.
