(c’92-’93) Cliff Turner (guitar), Ken Staddon (vocals), Ambrose Prendergast (guitar), Gary Jameson (bass), and Phil Ingate (drums).

The band gigged at a number of local venues, including The George, Ash Vale, and made it to the semi-finals of Aldershot’s Palace Nightclub’s Battle of the Bands.

On 20 August and 18 September ’92, Tried and Tested headlined at The George, and the next year, on 20 February ’93, they were performing at the Haslemere Hotel, Haslemere.

A decade before Tried and Tested, Turner had been in Vixen and was seen in Ten Thousand Revs in 2013/14. In late ’80, Staddon had replaced Terry Sullivan in Polaris.
