Jameson Raid

I remember seeing jameson Raid many times at "The Greyhound" in Chadwell Heath, Essex on a Thurdsay night. Don't remember too much about them but they must have been good as I kept going back :) the only song I can remember is "It's a crime" - accompanied by sirens and blue flashing lights. ************************** Jameson Raid (1976 to 1982) were a fantastic live band playing really original Hard Rock music. They were later associated with the NWOBHM movement and produced one of the very best tracks from this era 'Seven Days Of Splendour'.
