Vision (13)

Synth pop band from Rotherham in South Yorkshire, the brainchild of keyboard player Andy Beaumont. In 1982 Paul Statham temporarily joined Vision as guitarist at the bequest of vocalist Russell Bonnell, who was a friend of his from Nottingham. Paul appears on their debut single "Lucifer's Friend" which came out on the Sheffield based MVM label. It was a cult classic in clubs across Europe. However before long Paul headed back to the B-Movie ranks whilst Vision carried on with an ever-changing cast of musicians. They released numerous singles on the PRT imprint during the mid-eighties. They also recorded as Spiral Visions and the 1983 USA Quality singles credited them as U.K. Vision. Members: Andy Beaumont, Gary Gillott, Jeremy Cousins, Paul Statham, Pete Dineley, Pete Jackson (5), Russell Bonnell
