Radiation Band members

[John Cory 10]

Hi there from South Africa.

I'm trying a shot in the dark here.

During the late '70's and early '80's the was a band on the circuit here which did a lot of Bowie covers etc, by the name of RADIATION.

The front man was Colin (sorry cannot remember his surname) but I was friendly with the drummer. he was called "Dwyer" and his name, as far as I can recall was Steve Whitehouse. They toured here (Port Elizabeth) and two of the venues I can remember were Lilly's Bar (Holiday Inn) and The Farmers Home Hotel. They also had a 7" vinyl which was called "In Stereo". If perhaps Steve were to read this, please send me a PM and I will reply.

regards.

John

Can't help directly with your search for Steve Whitehouse, but a quick check on Google shows that the lead vocalist Colin died after a car crash in SA about 10 years ago. The article goes on to say that certain band members returned to Sheffield, but others stayed in SA. Regretfully it doesn't clarify who did which....

Hi John, There is an old thread on here which mentions your friend and all the band.
