| | The Flying Pickets Information |
 | | The group of six was founded by Brian Hibbard in 1982 by a group of actors, the "7:84 Theatre group", a fringe theatre group who had sung a capella in their production of One Big Blow, based on the 1982 UK miners' strike. |
 | | Hibbard and Gittins tried desperately to stay in the music business, and formed their own act called 'Brian and Stripe', but unfortunately their first and only single failed and they returned to their separate acting careers. |
 | | Their founder and lead singer, Brian Hibbard, went on to act in Doctor Who, and then briefly in Coronation Street, and has since appeared regularly on Welsh television. |
