4.5 Rating | #624 | 112 Votes | 15526 Views |

THE RING.. Music inspired by THE LORD of the RINGS

new world of war, inspired by Helms deep, Lord of the Rings

In March of 1976, in the small coastal town of
Porthcawl, South Wales 'Days of Grace' was formed.

The members of the band from 1977-1982 were:

Dave Evans…… Lead Vocals / Guitars
Roy Williams….. Bass / Taurus Bass Pedals / Guitars / vocals
Gerard “ Pixie “ Picton…… Keyboards
Nigel Megicks…. Guitars / Piano / vocals
Trevor Bourne….. Drums / Percussion

Influenced in the early days by , Genesis, the Moody Blues, Floyd, Yes, Mike Oldfield, 'Days of Grace were truely a Prog-Rock band.
But as the years progressed the band started to change direction , swaying more towards Pop-Rock.

The band enjoyed a modicum of success, with the release of 'Time stands still'c/w 'Lonely Boy' in Brazil and Italy.

Then in 1982 the band signed to D.J.M. and saw the release of 'My life’s in video' c/w '21stCentury' in the U.K. and Europe, sadly to disband later that same year.

The line-up playing at the Knights Arms re-union gig at the Grand Pavillion, Porthcawl, S.Wales on September 6th. 2008 is as follows.

Dave Evans.. Vocals/Guitars.
Gerard'Pixie'Picton.. Keyboards.
Nigel Megicks.. Guitars /Piano /Vocals.
Robert Edwards.. Drums/Vocals.
Andrew Richards.. Bass Guitars/Vocals

So,check out the video clips from the re-union show.

All the tracks featured in this Showcase are a selection of demos and releases from 1977-1982.
They have been salvaged from old cassette tapes and reels, and put together for anyone and everyone out there to enjoy.

The band members have now.unfortunalely,gone their seperate ways.. and they have no further plans to re-form..
So, Thanx to all who've supported 'DAYS of GRACE' over the years... and to you we dedicate... this presentation

Keeping the Flame Alive..

THE BAND.
