Joe Beagle

Joe Beagle, also known as singer-songwriter Joey Parratt, is an award-winning songwriter with various TV, radio and live performances to his name. He was founder member of The Flying Brix, No-one, Champion the Underdog, The (original) Beagles, Awful Racket, Cute Baby Monster and My Mate's Band all of which played almost exclusively his own original songs.

In 1979, as founder member of The Flying Brix, along with John Ashton, David Bradbury, Mark Hamilton, Gary Taylor and his brother Andy Barratt, he recorded, produced and released "Black Colours" a limited edition 7 inch 33 rpm vinyl DIY EP with 9 original songs, distributed by Rough Trade Records and played by John Peel (of BBC, Radio One). One of the songs, "Uniform (I Don't Wanna Be Different)", was later featured on a compilation CD commemorating the era, MESSTHETICS #104 CD: 'D.I.Y.' and indie postpunk from the South Wales and the Z-Block scene: 1977-1981 (part 1).

Rowlands replaced Hamilton and then the band split in 1981 and Rowlands, Ashton, Bradbury and Taylor went on to form 'Fourplay'. Joe stayed with the name of The Flying Brix.

No One (2 Unlimited song)

"No One" is a song recorded by Dutch Eurodance band 2 Unlimited.

Release and reception

"No one" was released as the second single from 2 Unlimited's third album, Real Things.

The release scored chart success in many European countries peaking at #2 in the Netherlands and #3 in Belgium. It was the least successful release to date in the UK hitting #17, but received the more airplay than previous hits from national station BBC Radio 1 due to the change in direction to a much lighter, breezier pop-reggae style.

Appearances

The melody of this song was also sampled in 1996 single by Serbian group Moby Dick with name "Kralj kokaina" ("King of Cocaine").
