Cry before Dawn, saw them support Squeeze back in the day and thought they were excellent.

 

[Reality and Realism]

A band called the The Storeys who were from Swansea. I saw them when they were a support band for Elton John. They made three albums and were absolutely brilliant. I have all three CD's. They folded due to lack of funding and backing.
