MORCHEEBA ENDS IN TEARS

Daisy Martey, who used to be the singer with Morcheeba until she was sacked for being ill, is suing her former bandmates claiming harrassment, breach of contract and defamation. Martey replaced original Morcheeba vocalist Skye, but it doesn't sound like an entirely successful idea:

The ex-Morcheeba lead singer says Paul Godfrey took her breasts in his hands twice, tried to touch her bottom and attempted to kiss her.

Her High Court writ also claims he called her a “cheap tart” and an uneducated working class girl with a posh voice and middle class aspirations.

Band creator Godfrey also allegedly remarked, “Look at your tits”, and “Nice to see you looking half-decent for a change,” the court will hear.


Martey was replaced by Jody Sternberg just a few months in to her time with the band. She's suing Paul Godfrey for assault, harrassment, breach of contract and defamation; in addition, Ross Godfrey is being sued for the last two of these.
