Heavy rock focused, The Fallen Angels was the first band for these 15- to 16-year-old rockers from West End. They covered the likes of Deep Purple, Gillian and J.J. Cale as well as playing their own material. The band played the Village Hall, Chobham on 10 January 1981, supported by Omayyad and Camberley’s Ruf Justice, with Tim Hawes and Lloyd Newman of Hipgnosiz making a surprise appearance.

Applin would later join Stillbrook.
