Is it going to be something to do with Norman "Fat boy" Cook? He played bass in the Housemartins and a Fat boy song was used in an Agent Provocateur advert?
Those wonderful norks are never far from my thoughts, oh yeah!

Hang on, the question isn't about the lingerie retailer....is it? It's about a band called Agent Provocateur.....non?

Indeed... nothing to do with the lingerie company, although sexy lingerie may have been a factor in the creation of the link between these two bands.

Did FBS and a member of AP both work in the same ladies undergarment factory before finding fame?

The link between Cook and Agent Provocateur involved a lack of underwear, and a lack of Cook.

I do recall a tabloid tale that implied that she was in a long term affair with some other muso for quite sometime.

He was in AP?
