Page "Dexys Midnight Runners" Paragraph 9

Feeling that their role in the group had diminished following the arrival of the fiddles, the brass section of Paterson, Speare and Maurice left.

They later formed The TKO Horns, in which Maurice was replaced by original Dexy Geoff Blythe, and most famously recorded an album with Elvis Costello in 1983 and Howard Jones in 1985.

Kilkenny was replaced by John " Rhino " Edwards on bass and Billingham left to join General Public.

The group continued to tour until 1983 with a nucleus of Rowland, Adams, O ' Hara and Shelton augmented by other musicians.
