Sophie and Peter Johnston
- Sophie and Peter Johnston
Sophie and Peter Johnston are a British brother and sister synthpop duo originally from Newcastle upon Tyne.
They caught the attention of BBC Radio 1 disc jockey John Peel in the 1980s and performed the theme music for the UK music television series "TX45", an offshoot from "The Tube".
In 1983, the session track (not a single until 1986) "Television/Satellite" was included as number 37 in Peel's Festive Fifty, an end-of-year chart compiled from votes from listeners to his radio shows - the first track not to be commercially available to make the chart.
Their only entry to the UK charts came in 1986, when "Happy Together" reached Number 99 on the singles charts. [UKChartHits|4663]
