El grupo fue fundado en Hull en 1984 por Heaton que volvía de un largo viaje por Europa. El primero en atender su propuesta fue Cullimore. A continuación se unen a ellos Whitaker y Ted Key que estaban en un grupo llamado Gargoyles. Emipieza un período de giras que hace que las discográficas se fijen en el cuarteto. Acaban firmando contrato con Gol Records y son promocionados con el eslogan "Cuarto mejor grupo de Hull".
El primer single, "Flag day", sale en octubre de 1985, pero no entra en listas.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
