The Band was formed in January 1984 by Andy Sayers (Guitar & Vocals) and Cliff Evans (Guitar) who were at the time joined by Haydon Palmer on Bass and Ben Graves (Drums), both of whom were temporary members of the band with musical interests/commitments elsewhere. They were, however, both to feature on the self released 10 track cassette album in the summer of 1984 even though this line up only managed one live performance (the first one for Zenith) at Hobbits in February 1984.
Andrew Jamieson joined the band on bass in 1985 followed by Keith Townsend on drums later in the year. Both were to later team up again with Andy Sayers to form Outsider in 1998. The drum position was held, again on a temporary basis, by Mark Helmore until Keith joined the band.
Gigs were not regular in the period up to 1985 but once the line up was complete more dates were played and 1986 was a particularly busy year for the band. A full list of the Zenith gig history is on the “Live” page on this site.
In 1986 Zenith released a 3 track single/EP containing the songs “Heavy Heart”, “Death by Misadventure” and “Not G
Guilty” recorded at Horizon Studios Weston-super-Mare. An MP3 of “Death by Misadventure” can be found on the Music page together with a full list of the Zenith repertoire.
Later in 1986 the band parted company with Cliff Evans and brought Gary Townsend in on bass guitar with Andy Jamieson switching to lead duties. This line up remained until the band’s demise in March 1987 shortly after recording what should have been the second single “Leaving You” and “Ruthless” (again see MP3 on Music page)
