Biography:
Formed by school-mates Graham Hendry & Campbell Burns back in 1983, Trident were joined by Martin McGuire & Tommy Wilson where they became one of 'the best' live bands in Scotland throughout a big chunk of the 80's. At a time when the rock world had gone all 'spandex & silk-scarf silly' - Trident flew the flag for real-rock'n'roll music with there no-nonsense approach to their music & live shows. There just wasn't a better live gig in town when these lads were around...so much so that they opened the Radio Clyde Kelvingrove Festival in 1987 with such a bang..they were invited back the following year to top the bill ! Trident were on fire at this time, but as record company interest grew...the band began to feel they were losing their edge after 5 solid years of rocking all over Scotland...and disbanded at the end of the 80's. But you couldn't keep a good headbangin' band down for long...and they were soon back playing live on and off through the 90's...which saw a two year period where Jim Jamieson (XEx Centurion front man) take over on lead vocal for the recording of 'The Answer' album...which included some of the best solid rock songs the boys had ever recorded. In the early part of 2000 the old band reformed for some gigs around Glasgow until 2006 when it really was time to pull the curtain down on the classic line-up. This is dedicated to all of those good people who were there..and made it such a hell of a time to be a rockin' band in Glasgow in the 80's!!! It was fun wasn't it?!?!?
