STEALER

BIOGRAPHY:

Local rock act formed in 1982 by ex-members of Speakeasy Stewart Drake (guitar) & Sam Hinks (vocals), along with Willie Leadbetter (bass) & Alan Wright (drums). They split up briefly in March 1983 before re-forming in August without Leadbetter, but with Colin (guitar) & Ian (bass). Another split was on the cards at the end of that year, however a version of the band played later in the 1980's, and two members of that act, Paddy (drums) & Dougal (guitar / vocals), later formed Aramanth. Drake & Wright formed Orion, whilst a later member Liam Wilson (drums) joined Bladdered.
