12 Singles?[edit]

The text refers to 12 singles in the UK Top 20 but the table at the bottom lists only three? Why the mismatch? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.91.172.42 (talk) 15:19, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1987?[edit]

The year 1987 for the group starting has to be debateable, because the girls appeared as backing singers on Bill Drummond's 1986 album The Man and were credited as "Voice of the Beehive". --kingboyk 08:46, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody in? Well, I'll change it to 1986 but even that might be wrong. --kingboyk 19:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beehive girls? I don't think so...[edit]

That bit about the 'Beehive Girls' looks bogus; according to the official website, they chose the band name by starting with 'Voice of the...' and picking random words, finally sticking with Beehive.--Glenn Hutchings 20:01, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A new interview might shed some light on Voice of the Beehive...[edit]

I have recently conducted an interview with Tracey and Missy Belland from VOTB (the podcast is on my website: www.revengeofthe80sradio.com." Would you like to add it to the links section? --Chris Cordani, Host, Revenge of the 80s Radio - www.revengeofthe80sradio.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by S.

Bedders?[edit]

Didn't Mark Bedford from Madness also play in this band? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.164.24.233 (talk) 12:55, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. The two ladies were Californians (perhaps one with British upbringing, see other talk below) but two of the band members, Martin Brett (bass guitar) and Daniel Woodgate (drums), were memebers or x members of mega famous Madness one of the most popular UK bands of the late 70s. It is like if two American ladies came to the UK and teamed up with Ringo Starr and George Harrison, imho. They were all great though.--Timtak (talk) 12:57, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Voice of the Beehive[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Voice of the Beehive's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Strong":

From Mark Bedford: Strong, Martin C. (2002) The Great Rock Discography, Canongate, ISBN 1-84195-312-1, p. 638
From I, Ludicrous: Strong, Martin C. (2003) "I, Ludicrous" in The Great Indie Discography, Canongate, ISBN 1-84195-335-0, p. 375

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 22:32, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They may be Californian, but[edit]

I happened to catch (literally) the brunette singer of the band, Melissa, when she slipped on the ice going into the stage-door of the Rialto Theater in Raleigh, NC, during the "Let It Bee" tour. We chatted a bit and she had a very definite Brit accent. I'm from Manchester, so my 40+ years in America may have made me rusty, but I don't think she was putting me on. English parents? Or just raised in London after they were born? HammerFilmFan (talk) 09:04, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
