Just Before Dawn advertised in Hobo magazine in 1974, care of Peter Morris and played at the Hobo Workshop either at the the Holyhead Youth Centre, or Golden Cross.
Jim Pryal (Drummer with the band) says of the band –
“I joined ‘Just before Dawn’ in 1974. We were managed by Norman Dewis, chief test driver for Jaguar. He was the first person to drive from Coventry to London on the new M1 in an E type Jag in 1959. Norman’s son Graeme Dewis played bass. It was a club covers band and had regular work and we played rock whenever we could. We used to practice at Normans farm near Packington. You always got tea and biscuits off Nan, Normans wife. Other guys in the band were Martin Banner on keys, Pete Morris on Guitar and Paul Chadband on vocals RIP..”
