Biography
Henderson was a member of The Dirty Reds in the late 1970s, and formed The Fire Engines in 1979.[1] The band released an album and three singles before splitting up at the end of 1981.[1] Henderson then formed Heartbeat with Hillary Morrison, and in the mid-1980s reunited with Fire Engines drummer Russell Burn in Win, whose profile was raised by "You've Got the Power" featuring in a McEwan's lager television advertisement, and they charted in the UK with the single "Super Popoid Groove" and album Uh! Tears Baby (a Trash Icon) in 1987.[1][2] After a second album in 1989, Win split up.[1] Henderson worked with Burn again on A Dali Surprise, an album by Burn's Pie Finger project, before forming The Nectarine No. 9, the band releasing eight albums between 1992 and 2004.[3] In 2004 The Fire Engines reunited for a few live shows. Henderson went on to form The Sexual Objects.[3]
