BIOGRAPHY:
Act
formed in 1997 by Willie Green (drums, ex-Groovetunnel),
Frazer "Beany" Law (guitar), Russel Dickson (vocals) & Paul Barton
(bass, ex-Brand). The band won the Newmarket
Bar "Battle Of The Bands" in 1997, and travelled to the Leadmill in
Sheffield to take part in a nationwide "Bandnation" competition, which
they also won. The prize for this was to spend a week in a recording studio of
their choice, so they went to Fish's (ex-Marillion) studio in Haddington to record
a 4 track CD. Despite this the band seemed to fade away, with only a few dates
in 1998. At the end of that year they advertised for a second guitarist, and then
continued to play live until 2000. Meanwhile, Green was also playing with Cooper
and Canova, and later joined Lieutenant
Stardust. When he left, he was replaced by John Ogilvie (drums) and a second
guitarist Stuart Nelson (ex-Uncle Jack),
before the band split for good. Barton moved to London and now works as an A&R
man for ZZT.
