Everything But The Girl 1980 – 2011
Everything but the Girl
(often shortened EBTG) is a two-person English band formed in Hull during 1982, consisting of lead singer and occasional guitarist Tracey Thorn (born 26 September 1962) of Marine Girls, and guitarist, keyboardist, and singer Ben Watt (born 6 December 1962).[1]
Watt and Thorn are also a couple; they are very private about their relationship and personal life. It was not a publicised fact for some time that they were a couple, or that they had married subsequently.[2] The duo have professed a strong desire to raise their three children with as much privacy as possible
