(c’89-90) Tim Sherrington (vocals/guitar), Mike Boylan (bass), Paul Ruske (drums), and Jo Clyne (keyboards).

Sherrington, Boylan, and Ruske formed a band called The Followers in the summer of ’88. By the following summer they had added Clyne and renamed as Home Again. In Sept ’89 they won a Battle of the Bands at the Limelite Club and were building a name for themselves on the Oxford club scene. That same year they recorded the “Hard Rain City” demo cassette EP, which reached the top of the UK Demo Chart.

The George, Ash Vale hosted Home Again on 10 April ’90. Unfortunately, shortly after this gg, around mid ’90, they realized that their management had taken them for a ride resulting in the loss of a record deal and the band breaking down. In late ’90 they started to rehearse again; and Boylan introduced guitarist Steve Bray to the mix. In ’91 the band’s “Hard Rain City” was included on Farnborough Groove Vol.1; by which time they were called The River Thieves.
