It all seems so long ago back in 1979
when a group of mates got together to form Stormchild. We ended up
winning Opportunity Rocks, (a national talent competition in the UK
with over 1000 entrants) we then signed to Paradise promotions who
subsequently went bust. Then Kilo records signed us up which was an
offshoot of K Tel records which was set up for promoting new rock
bands.
Stormchild released a white label single
( Rockin' steady, which the record label used to attract a producer
for the band). Chris Tsangarides was interested in working with us
who also produced Judas Jriest, Magnum etc, but we split up before we could work with
him.
The single has gone on to become the most
collectable single of the New Wave of Heavy Metal genre with a copy
selling recently on Ebay for almost
£2,300!
The continued interest in
the band has prompted me to set up this web site. Many thanks to
Mario Corbella, a NWOBHM fan who tracked me down and introduced me
to Thorsten who is helping me to release an album of unreleased studio and live
tracks from Stormchild in 2011, 29 years after they were recorded!
I can't wait for its release! Thanks for
everything Thorsten!
Please enjoy the site, it is a nostalgic
look at a group of talented teenagers who were at the forefront of
the NWOBHM movement and split up for crazy reasons before realising
what huge potential we had.
Kids eh!!
