Artist History The Raiders came together in Leeds, England in 1960. Initially playing Ventures / Shadows-style instrumental music, the band developed into a full rock, blues and r & b unit as the Beatles-led British invasion conquered the world. These ultra-rare recordings are straight instrumentals and feature the band's 1964 line-up. Beau Midgley went on to record - as Beau and later, John Trevor - for John Peel’s Dandelion label in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. Both Beau and John Trevor are mp3.com artists - be sure to check them out. For the full Raiders story, visit the band’s own website (click on the "Go to the artist's web site" link just across the way!).

Group Members John Armistead (bass), Beau Midgley (lead guitar), Ralph Sims (drums), Robin White (rhythm guitar).

Instruments Two guitars, bass and drums - the classic line-up!
