“Funnily enough, Ian, our old SFW drummer, Chris Flynn lives in Oz as well..I d love to have a natter with Ian Pryce as well....I've never seen the photo of me ans Shaun before....real nice to see it.”
“Hi Ian...well....Shaun , Pete Gallagher, Chris Flynn and myself formed SFW in late 1974. We were doing original stuff right from the start really..did the normal youth club, and pub and club circuit for years. Played with John Cooper Clarke, at one gig in Wyhenshawe in 76'..played London , assorted colleges, up and down the land, Deepley Vale and Seasalter Festivals also...lots of gigs.. We morphed into SIC, Pete and Chris left, so it was Shaun, me , a new drummer , Martin Schofield, and Raz on vocals, with Cammy on second guitar...like most bands, we parted company, me and Martin ended up in a NWOBHM band called Touched, which itself was a morph of another band , Dragster..did 2 albums and a single , signed to Ebony Records in the mid 80's. Since then me and Martin have played in The Outsiders UK, gigged a lot in Holland and UK, and still keep my hand in today, as does Martin, who has a successful band practice and studio in Oldham.”
