Candida Doyle

Candida Doyle

Candida Doyle (born Candida Mary Doyle, 25 August 1963, Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland) is a keyboard player and occasional backing vocalist with the band Pulp.

Doyle joined Pulp (created and fronted by Jarvis Cocker) in 1984, replacing the recently departed Tim Allcard. She joined her brother Magnus Doyle in the line-up, who was already a member of the group.

During Doyle's first few years in the group, Pulp were not enjoying financial success; she has been recorded as saying that she spent more money on the band than she made from it. She kept jobs in two toy shops in Manchester, getting sacked from one for a "lack of dedication". Although Pulp "sort of split up" in the period around 1986, they went on to release "Freaks" in 1987 with Doyle on board for her first album.

Other artistic members of her family include her mother [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0900806/ Sandra Voe] , who is an actress and has appeared in "Coronation Street", and two musician brothers. Her grandfather owned a fishing factory in the Shetland Islands. Doyle has lived in many places, including Belfast (where she was born), Manchester, Sheffield from the age of ten and where Pulp formed, plus London.

Since the 2002 hiatus of Pulp, Doyle occasionally appears live with Jarvis Cocker, playing keyboards.
