Anthony Matthew "Ted" Key (born 1 July 1960 in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England) was the original bassist in The Housemartins. He was replaced in 1985 by Norman Cook.[1]
Key originally played with a local band called The Gargoyles.[1][2] He continues to be involved in the Hull music scene and was the frontman of Ted Key and the Kingstons.[3] After this band folded in late 2022, he joined with new musicians including two members of Hull band The Gold Needles, to form Ted Key + The VIP's, who debuted at The New Adelphi Club in early 2023, and are currently active.
