Notes:
– A very active live band with a large following in the North East of England.
– Dawnwatcher had quite a few songs but unfortunatally very few ever recorded even on tape
– None of the demos mentioned below were available to the public but somehow they were circulated in the tape/CDr trading and collector circles and recently they are available via various download blogs/sites
– Split in 1980 but reformed in 1982 with a new line-up that lasted for just a little time
– Featured on the compilation “New Electric Warriors” (LP, Logo Records, 1980) with ‘Firing On All Eight’
