Kate Robbins

From Wikipedia:

Kate Robbins (born 21 August 1958 in Margate, Kent, England) is an English actress, comedian, singer and songwriter. She came to prominence in the early 1980s when she scored a No.2 hit on the UK Charts with the song “More Than in Love”, while she was appearing in the television soap opera Crossroads. She went on to become a prolific voice actress, most notably for nine years with the satirical show Spitting Image.

[…] Robbins is a first cousin once removed of Paul McCartney as her mother Elizabeth “Bett” Robbins (née Danher) was McCartney’s cousin. In 1960, McCartney and John Lennon performed as “The Nerk Twins” at the Fox and Hounds pub in Caversham, Reading, which was run by Bett and her husband Mike.

In 1985, Kate Robbins took part in the recording of Paul McCartney’s album “Press To Play“, providing backing vocals on “Good Times Coming / Feel The Sun“, “Move Over Busker” and “Only Love Remains“. She also contributed backing vocals to the single “Spies Like Us“, recorded during the same period.

In June 2017, Kate and Jane Robbins unveiled a blue plaque at the Fox and Hounds pub, where they had grown up, commemorating Paul McCartney and John Lennon’s performance there as the Nerk Twins in April 1960. The plaque was part of the British music heritage plaque scheme, which recognises people, places and events that have helped shape Britain’s musical history.
