Rail 1978, originally Rail back in 1978, was formed by four British musicians in the county of Dyfed in Wales. The band took form in January of that year, writing and recording the album Rainbow in 6 weeks. Very few live performances, but raves wherever a live one took place, the band played a couple of prestigious gigs, Dingwalls in May 1978, before collapsing with each of the foursome going his own way.

What a shame!

The Group

Thus the members of this short lived union:
Julian Gwizdak - Keyboards and Lead Vocals
Mel Jones - Guitar and Backing Vocals
Paul George - Drums and Backing Vocals
Graham Hewstone - Bass and Backing Vocals

I don't think I've forgotten anybody....................!

Thanks Perry.
You got it in one! The studio was about 15 sq yards in size, with all four of us strategically placed to limit interference, especially between the bass and drums and the the guitar and vocals!!! All very prehistoric by today's standards but considering that Sergeant Pepper's was recorded on a 4 track and that we had a 16 track at our disposition you can imagine that we thought ourselves to be at the height of the technology for that time.
Listening to the album brings back a lot of memories and the fact that we were under a lot less pressure, but with perhaps less opportunity, than today. Thanks to Broadjam we have a platform that I believe to be a considerable aid to young musicians (and not so young as well) and all that is good for creativity and originality.
Best Wishes
Graham for Rail1978
