Marquis of Kensington

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Marquis of Kensington was a British studio project from the end of the 1960s. It consisted of Robert Wace, then manager of The Kinks, and the record producer Mike Leander (1941–1996).[1] While the project's vocals are Wace's, Leander was featured on the single covers. Wace wanted to remain incognito.

The duo released three singles:

In 1970, a cover of "Flash" by Italian instrumentalist Mario Battaini reached number 11 in the Dutch Top 40.[2] He had released the song as The Duke of Burlington.
