Artist Biography
Available in:
In 1977 after the demise of Warhorse and short-term project "Dynamite" Nick Simper created the band "Nick Simper's Fandango" at the time that punk rock was in full swing.

After a false start with UK label Charly a recording deal was secured with German based Shark Records. Aside from regular side-kick Pete Parks, Nick brought in drummer Ron Penny, who had played alongside him on Barney James' demos, and singer James Proops. The album 'Slipstreaming' was released in the UK and Germany in 1979, creating a flicker of interest despite the fact that the band lacked the finance to promote it with live gigs.

In August 1980 a follow up album was hurriedly recorded in scenes of some chaos, with original Warhorse drummer Mac Poole deputising for Penny. 'Future Times' was released just as Shark Records went bust. The Fandango musicians returned to session work, but in 1983 reunited briefly for the single 'Just Another Day' (written by Russ Ballard) on the indie Paro label.
