Kelly Jones and Stuart Cable lived on the same street in the Welsh village of Cwmaman . Jones heard Cable played drums so asked if he wanted to jam together. After some time practising in Jones’ father’s garage, Nicholas Geake joined in on guitar. Later, Jones invited Paul Rosser and Chris Davies to play on bass guitar and keyboards, respectively. Cable recalls he was the one who suggested that Jones be the singer, as his dad was a singer back in the sixties who supported Roy Orbison . In 1986 the band recorded a demo under the name “Zephyr”. When Jones went on holiday the band played a gig without him, which resulted in Jones leaving the band and Jones and Cable going their separate ways. Jones, Rosser and Davies formed their own R&B band called “Silent Runner” while Cable joined a glam-rock band named “King Catwalk” on drums.
