VHF, NO LIMIT, OUT, FRANXINATRA, PRYZMIX+++ 


Way back in '77 a bunch of innocent young lads got together and formed VHF.  The line up consisted of Bill Balfour on vocals and guitar, Johnny 'the hat' Bloom on Bass, Gnivil Moor - keyboards and Ernest Fawcett on Drums. The 3 following tracks were mainly written by Bill with contributions from Gnivil and Ernest, and made up their first 'demo tape' on the back of which, they secured a few gigs and a residency in a pub (now a hamburger restaurant) on the Tottenham Court Road next to the Dominion Theatre.

NO LIMIT


Messrs Balfour, Moor & Fawcett went through various name changes  such as 'OUT', 'FRANXINATRA' and 'GNIVIL MOOR & THE ALL NIGHT SHREDDIES' and line-ups, eventually replacing Johhny 'the hat' with Terry Stevens on bass and voclas and adding David Nicol on guitar and vocals. Both Terry and David were accomplished songwriters, which added a new dynamic to the team, hence, No Limit was created....

As No Limit and it's various emanations began to drift, the boys started to move in different circles. Then one day David Nichol called Gnivil and suggested they team up with an exciting new rock ensemble, thus BLACK FOX was created.

An early eighties ensemble of rockers fronted by Tony Forsythe (aka Black Fox) vocals, bass guitar, David (JD Zirconium) Nichol, guitar vocals, Mark, guitar, vocals, Gnivil Moor, Keyboards & Gary Burfield, Drums, vocals. Occasional live gigs included Dingwalls - Camden Lock, The Rock Garden - Covent Garden and Le Chateux - Kentish Town. Whilst together they played; Dear Lord, On my Mind and Stop.
