We got together in mid 1981 and split up in late '82 after about 15 months. We were Neil Traynor (vocals) Steve McGuire (guitar) Nick Cookson (me...name change when married!) (guitar), Dave Strathearn (bass) Jeff Baddley (drums). The 1981 demo got us a contract with Neat records for a 3 track single and a possible lp. We had done some rough demos for the single before we spilt up. It was Gil Nortons first studio job, just learning about the way to record and engineer and produce. Of course nobody had heard of him then!!!
-->We did about 120 gigs and supported Spider, Girlschool, Rhabstallion, Diamond Head and others, We also did a support tour of Europe (May / June 1982) with Nightwing and went down very well especially in Germany. We were offered a couple of return gigs for late summer festivals but we had split up by then due to money problems.

TROYEN:
The demo was engineered and co produced by a very young Gil Norton at Amazon studios in Liverpool.
The band supported Nightwing on a 6 week European tour in 1982 and did a session and interviews for Belgian radio.
They were based in the north west of England.
