Julia Adamson

Julia Adamson (also known as Julia Nagle) (born September 30, 1960 in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada) is a composer/musician. In 1967, her family moved to Manchester, England.

In 1971 she recorded with St Winifreds Choir on the school's first album of modern hymns. In 1977 she played in punk group Blackout alongside Tony Ogden and Gordon King. She joined the group Illustration in 1979 and recorded material with Martin Hannett as producer for Some Bizzare Records.

Adamson worked as Martin Hannett's personal assistant from 1981 until 1983. She was then employed as an in house sound engineer at Strawberry Studios from 1984 to 1990.

In 1986 she formed the Manchester group What? Noise with her husband Chris Nagle and was signed to One Little Indian Records, where she contributed to the album "Fat" and the EP "Vein". What?Noise material was also featured on compilation albums for various record companies.

Adamson was a member of The Fall between 1995-2001, playing keyboards, guitar and computers. She contributed to "The Light User Syndrome", "Levitate", "The Marshall Suite" and "The Unutterable". Writing credits include the singles "The Masquerade" and "Touch Sensitive", later used in an advert for Vauxhall Corsa cars (2003-2006).

A large VAT invoice was given to The Fall in 1997. Incurred before Adamson joined, it caused tensions with the members it had been issued to and led to a split in the group in 1998. The group reformed with frontman Mark E. Smith, Adamson, and new musicians.

Since 2001 Adamson has continued to write and perform under the name Invisiblegirl and released single "Fun" in September 2006. Invisiblegirl has now expanded into Invisiblegirl Music Publishing and Invisiblegirl Records.
