...Whilst the Chuddy Nuddies (who would later become the Yachts) consisted of Henry Priestman, Bob Bellis, Martin Dempsey and Martin Watson. Henry Priestman also later went to to form bands It's Immaterial and The Christains.

From Wikipedia:

"They played their first show (as 'Yachts') at Eric's nightclub in Liverpool, supporting Elvis Costello. This led to a recording contract with Stiff Records, where they released one single, the witty and self-referential "Suffice To Say", written by Priestman and Campbell and produced by Will Birch. They also released a novelty single, "Do The Chud", as the Chuddy Nuddies".
