Cats U.K.
Cats U.K. were a British four-piece all-girl band who had a hit with the single "Luton Airport" in October 1979.[1]
The record, which reached No. 22 in the UK Singles Chart,[1] was inspired by the 1977 Campari television commercial in which cockney model and actress Lorraine Chase responds to Jeremy Clyde's romantic line "Were you truly wafted here from paradise?" with the reply, "Nahh, Luton Airport!".
The band featured Deena Payne, who coincidently went on to appear with Chase in the long-running soap opera, Emmerdale.
The group had to rename itself to Cats U.K. because of the existence of famous Dutch band The Cats.
