Dodgy were an English pop trio, originally composed of Redditch's Nigel Clark (vocals and bass) and Mathew Priest (drums), along with Londoner Andy Miller (guitar). Clark left the band in 1998. Priest and Miller continued the band as a five piece joined by the vocalist David Bassey; keyboardist Chris Hallam, and bass player Nick Abnett. This new version of the group would record one album, Real Estate, released in 2001, which signaled the end of the band shortly afterwards. This album was funded with help from the fans.

The band's debut album, produced by The Lightning Seeds' Ian Broudie, demonstrated a comprehensive grasp of classic British pop influences. In many ways the album pre-dated the Brit-pop sound that would come to dominate the English scene with the arrival of Oasis.

The original lineup of the band, Clark, Miller, and Priest, will reunite in Nov 2007 for a UK tour.NME.com
