Take Three

Fronted by former South London lovers rock vocal harmony group, Alpha (18) (sisters Jackie & Jean Heron & Marlène Richardson). Take Three was the brain-child of writer/producer trio SHE (Steve Sinclair, Peter Hinds & Kevin Ellis). Meeting each other at The Factory community centre in Paddington (now known as the Yaa Asantewa centre & in the last few years, The Yaa Centre). Steve & Kevin began a partnership writing & directing their own theatre productions as part of The Black Theatre Co-Op, which called the centre home at the time. When a song they had written together for one of their productions received praise & plaudits, the path toward writing & producing records began, bringing in more seasoned hand Peter Hinds - formerly a member of key brit funk groups Light Of The World & Beggar & Co., & player with Incognito, Imagination & Loose Ends - to complete the circle.
