History
Coventry based band, formed in 1994. Original called 19th Twice, a reference to the nineteenth letter of the alphabet, S.
After various line-ups the band settled on Bod on vocals, Graham Thompson on guitar, Shag on bass and Acky on drums. This line-up played their debut gig at the St. George’s Day 1995 concert.
Acky left in 1995, Sid stood in on the drums for a short time. An early line-up included Peter who left in 1995.
When they played the ISD memorial ’96 concert they recruited new drummer James. Graham replaced Bod as the vocalist in late 1996 whilst also remaining the guitarist.
They split-up soon after.
Avalon’s debut CD ‘Our Honour Is True’ ran into numerous problems. The German label Di-Al Records got raided by the police, which made them rather reluctant to release the CD.
After reforming and playing in Germany in January 1998, the line-up included Graham on guitar and Steve, ex-Conquest, on rhythm guitar.
They split-up again around 2001 because of a shortage of musicians in their local area and reformed in April 2003 with Graham on bass/vocals and guitarists Kev and Mark, who were both new to the scene, and Andy, ex-Conquest on drums.
2004 saw Mark replaced by Andy [a different one]. Griff, ex-Loyalty, joined on drums. Kev left in early 2005, his replacement, Gareth, made his Avalon live debut in Germany in June 2005. Gareth and Andy had both left and a new line up was announced for 2011 which included Graham on guitar and vocals, Rob on bass, and Steve (formerly of London Diehards) on the drums.
Members of Avalon have also been involved with the band Spearhead (with English Rose), Thunderbolt (with Razors Edge), and White Master (with White Devils and Woden).
