(c’83) Mike “Krabbers” Hayllor (vocals), Stuart Murray (guitar) and Ray Block (keyboards).

Murray, who had also been in Creatures of Darkness and Screaming Lullabies, got together with Hayllor and Block to form Cavalcade of Perversion, a Guildford based synth band. In August ’83 the band were booked to play the ‘Animal House’ club at The Royal, Guildford. They would return to the venue in October ’83; an event referred to as the body bag gig by members of the band. This didn’t stop them from returning once more to the Animal House on 11 January ’84.

Krabbers is still performing as one half of The Hedge Inspectors and organizes Unplug the Wood the acoustic open mic and jam hosted by The Hedge Inspectors that is often held at The Lion Brewery, Ash. Regretfully, Block is no longer with us.
