The Corn Dollies

The Corn Dollies were a United Kingdom indie band from South-west London, active between 1987 and 1991.

Comprising Steve Musham (vocals and guitar), Tim Sales (guitar), Steve Ridder (bass), Jack Hoser (drums), and Jo Podmore (violin),Lazell, Barry:"Indie Hits 1980-1989", 1997, Cherry Red Books, ISBN 0-9517206-9-4] they released several singles on Medium Cool Records. The debut, "Be Small Again" was an indie hit, reaching #28 on the UK Independent Chart. The follow-up, "Forever Steven", produced by Robert Forster of The Go-Betweens [http://www.foxdude.com/corndollies.html Foxdude Records ] ] reached #16. They also contributed a track to the various artist compilation "Bananas", an album issued to help the Football Supporters Association campaign against the ID card scheme that was being mooted by the UK Government at the time. They gained popularity throughout Europe after a tour in 1989, building a strong fanbase in Spain. When Medium Cool collapsed, they moved to Midnight Music, releasing two albums. In support of "Wrecked", they undertook a national tour supporting Ian McCulloch, but with the album's success being limited, the band split up in 1991.
