The Invisible Girls were a rock band formed in Salford, Greater Manchester in 1978 to provide musical back drop to the recorded output of Salford punk poet John Cooper Clarke. The band was based around the nucleus of Joy Division producer Martin Hannett and keyboarist Steve Hopkins, with contributions from, amongst others, Pete Shelley of Buzzcocks and Bill Nelson. The band also played on the first solo album by Pauline Murray (lead singer of Penetration), the eponymous Pauline Murray & The Invisible Girls.
