rockunrollBack to The Fall again !!
Honestly, we could run a series on "Women who have been in The Fall" -- the band have been through dozens of line-ups.
But the Brix Smith era (1983-1989) happens to be my favourite. She was the guitarist. She also had her own project called The Adult Net.

( 1985 Line-Up )
Brix quote from the booklet in the "Omnibus Edition" of This Nation's Saving Grace:
Cruiser's Creek was my best work ever and L.A. was my best song ever. That, for me, is the end of it. I'm most proud of those two moments.
( The Fall - Cruiser's Creek )
( The Fall - L.A. (Peel Session) )
( Interview with Mark & Brix )
( The Adult Net - Incense & Peppermints )
& I'll throw in something from the period when she briefly re-joined the band in the mid-nineties: The Birthday (cover of a song by The Idle Race). Featuring Lucy Rimmer on vocals... the only Fall song that doesn't feature Mark on vocals!
