The Deltones were an eleven piece ska/bluebeat outfit formed in London back in the early/mid 80's, and they featured former members of The Bodysnatchers. They were an all female band, apart from the drummer who was a male. The group also recorded a Peel Session for Radio 1 and a session for Capital Radio during the late eighties, and they were well known on the London gig circuit. They were also extremely popular in France, and they also appeared on Saturday morning TV in Britain performing the single, Stay Where You Are. The group decided to call it a day in the mid nineties, but by this time the line - up had changed considerably and they had moved on to playing pop - indie music rather than ska , although some of their ska tunes where performed during their set list at their latter concerts.
