Red Stripe (real name David Gittins) was a member of the famous a cappella group The Flying Pickets.

The Pickets did a cover of Yazoo's "Only You"; it was the Christmas Number 1 of 1983 and stayed at the top spot for 5 weeks.

Gittins then got a bread round after leaving the band in 1986, but then he and Brian Hibbard (one of the other members of the Flying Pickets) made their own duet called "Brian and Stripe". They released only one single but it failed to make the charts.
