From Nottingham, the band were started by guitarist Chris Allard in 1979.  Over the next several years, they were acclaimed by many as being one of the brightest talents on the scene, even supporting the likes of Def Leppard, Krokus and Magnum.

However, the band are now back and burning. With a line-up featuring vocalist Mick Preston, guitarists Wayne Vizard and Steve Humphries, bassist Ric Evans and drummer Pete Limb. Not only that, but on May 13 Dawn Trader finally issue their debut album – only taken some 32 years!. Called Castle, it’ll be on From The Ashes Records.
