FM

Vivid was a groovy hard rock band in the early 90’s. Solid writing, recording and touring the small venue circuit finally bore fruit when they signed with Cargo Records. Subsequent releases were aired regularly on BBC Radio 1 and led them to tour with the artists (Bon Jovi, Tyketto, FM, Gun etc) in venues and stadiums across Europe, culminating with the band winning a KERRANG Award in 1997!

ASAP: Silver And Gold [Adrian Smith, the IRON MAIDEN guitarist’s band immediately after he left Maiden. Joining Smith in A.S.A.P. came fellow guitarists Dave Colwell, previously with URCHIN, 720 and SAMSON, and Andy Barnett, also ex-URCHIN, bassist Robin Clayton, keyboard player Richard Young and drummer Zak Starkey, the son of THE BEATLES drummer Ringo Starr. Smith had tested the waters for his projected solo career whilst still a member of IRON MAIDEN by performing fun club gigs and performing lead vocals on the track 'Reach Out', the B-side to the 'Wasted Years' single. A.S.A.P. released a well received AOR influenced Rock album that had many critics commentating on Smith's songwriting prowess. However, although A.S.A.P. charted moderately and the band's press profile was high, the project soon folded.Following A.S.A.P.'s demise Andy Barnett later joined slick AORsters FM, whilst Dave Colwell found success with BAD COMPANY
