Naffi (also known as The Naffi’s, Naafi Sandwich, Naffi-Locksman, and later Brenda and the Beachballs) were a Merseyside duo consisting of Brenda and Jerry Kenny. Most of their output consists of strange avant-garde / dub / reggae influenced stuff, but they still managed to write some lovely minimal jazz pop (think Young Marble Giants). “D’ya Hear Me!” is one of those songs. I’ll post my other favorite track from their “Yum Yum Yum Yum Ya” LP and the Beachballs “Volume One” single tomorrow.

For those who want to study up, here’s the Naffi discography page taken from “The Scouse Phenomenon, part 2”. (which by the way are the most awesome books for anyone who cares about the Liverpool music scene in the 80s. Sadly they’re out of print, but turn up on eBay from time to time.)
