[ ] Martin Cooper

we have a few Martin Cooper's int he database from the UK and i can't tell if any of them are related.

we have this guy from The Listening Pool and Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark.

next we have Those Naughty Lumps who were formed in 1977 with a Martin Cooper around at least in 1978. Later on he was in a band called the Moderates. allmusic and RYM links this Cooper to the one above but i'm having trouble finding any better evidence.

finally there's a 3rd Martin Cooper and there isn't much about him. He was in the Magits in around 1978 and possibly attended art school with Nick Blinko. i'm not sure where they were based.

all Coopers seem to be around the same age. maybe we need out where their bands are based in this period.


EDIT:
on a related note, i finally got Rudimentary Peni in through some Trance groups and a Finnish boy band, coming close to Stratovarius and Leningrad Cowboys on the way. the connections never cease to amaze me.
