David Glasper: born on 4 January 1965 in Cardigan, Wales, David John Glasper became the third child of Creswell (1928-91) and Dorothy Glasper (nee Nichols, b. 1927), who had been married in 1950. His two older sisters were named Susan and Jane. In November 1988, Smash Hits magazine stated that David Glasper was 6'2" (187cm) tall with hazel eyes, and drove a blue Volkswagen Beetle with American number plates. Producer and engineer Chris Porter, who worked with Glasper during 1987-88, later recalled that he "was a sensitive soul and very earnest".

Marcus Lillington: born on 28 February 1967 in Bideford, Devon, Marcus Brian John Lillington was the third child of Brian and Margaret Lillington, who had been married in 1958, and a younger brother to sisters Jane and Sarah. In November 1988, Smash Hits magazine stated that Marcus was 5'10" (177cm) tall with blue eyes. By the late 1990's, Marcus was working for a dot-com company. In 2002, he co-founded web design and business development firm Headscape, becoming co-host of the web design podcast, Boagworld.com. He was a vocalist and guitarist with the band "Stroke The Toad", which issued a 9-track self-titled album via download in January 2008. The group included former Catch 22 member Phill Harrison (bass), along with Phil Hart (vocals, harmonica), Garreth Hicklin (keyboards, guitar, vocals), and Hugh Lawrenson (drums).

Ian Spice (nicknamed "Spike): born on 18 September 1966 in Chiswick, West London, England. Ian Michael Spice was the first child of Michael (b. 1939) and Pamela Spice (nee Hedges, b. 1941), who were married in early 1962. It has been reported that he was born with six fingers on one hand, with the extra finger removed at birth. A younger brother, Colin, was born in early 1969. A magazine article in 1988 reported that Spike was 6'1" (185cm) tall, blue-eyed, drove an orange Volkswagen Beetle, and had once worked in a toy factory. Music producer and engineer Chris Porter, who worked with the band during 1987-88, later stated that "Spike probably had the toughest job at the time: The fashion was for extremely tight drumming and drum machines had started to inflict their influence. Hours were spent honing drum takes, dropping in for the smallest of flaws until every beat passed inspection. It was cruel and unusual punishment for all involved, but there were no alternative technologies available. The age of the Synclavier and Fairlight had just arrived but these were the domain of a few specialist operators and cast as much as a studio a day to hire." Ian Spice died in 2000 of an undisclosed cause, and his remains cremated.
