Ted Keys

Ted Key was part of The Housemartins from their earliest days, before record deals and chart success, and played a key role in shaping the band’s formative sound, direction, and ethos. As the group’s original bassist, he was central to the rhythm, feel, and collective identity that defined the band’s early period — a time when their reputation was built on sharp songwriting, musical economy, and a strong sense of social conscience. His contribution sits at the very foundation of the Housemartins’ story.
