Some names to conjure with there.

Edit: Just remembered - it was And The Native Hipsters. Shocking, really, how much crap we store in our brains!

Nah that wasn't them.
Stewart is best remembered for his rendition of Jerusalem, though this was post Pop Group IIRC. It’s interesting that just about every musician mentioned in the family tree on that link used to frequent a club called ‘The Dugout’ that was located on Park Row. The DJs who played there then called the Wild Bunch were all about to become involved in the music business themselves as variously members of Soul II Soul first and then Massive Attack. The place was a legendary melting pot, Wednesday being ‘the’ night to be seen there.

Actually I have just remembered I don't think it was the Vibrators after all. I think it was a band called the Drones. I am sure I have seen the Vibrators though.
