SELF RELEASED
If Proof were needed that the NWOBHM was a nationwide movement and not one restricted to isolated 'hotbed' pockets, bands like Alverna Gunn - cropping up in the Metal desert of Lowestoft - seemed to confirm it.
This four-piece, named bizarrely after a former Cruft's champion, were never serious
contenders but like so many of the others, were good enough to have a high local profile and a promising demo under their belts.
The band has long since splintered but the driving force, drummer Paul Hale, (who long ago nearly joined Samson), has soldiered on with the Bash Street Kids, last year winning studio time in Rolling Stone Bill Wyman's nationwide talent search.
