Strider played their first gig in November 1980 at the Carlisle supporting Hutch Hutchins. A scathing revue was received by Candid Watson - It did not stop us.
The name of the Band was however changed to Hooker, playing gigs at Tenterden and the Grove School among others.
This is a jam session that was recorded at the Hollington Youth Centre with a change to the instrumentation - Steve Francis is playing Bass, Tim on keyboards and Steve (Babes) Burt on synth with Paul Morfey on lead.
This would have been recorded on my Ghetto Blaster.
We were probably testing out some new gadget in the studio for Tony Brooks.
A sophisticated song.Ā
