CANYON was started by Colin Rodger in 1972/73 with their debut appearance being at the Salisbury Polytechnic. After a period of time the original line-up broke up with Colin Rodger later reforming the band with new members. The band played the Churchill School dance in 1974 and it is believed that a tape of the performance was recorded. If anyone out there still has a copy, please contact the website maintainer! The band’s “finest hour” was probably playing alongside HOLY BLACK at a New Year’s Eve gig in 1974/75 at the University of Rhodesia.
