A journey of rediscovered music …

“Dick Smith Band 2 The Other Side”

The story of two bands from the late 70’s to the late 80’s that produced a lot of material, most of which was never released, that was thought to be lost .. In 2018 Pab (our sound man) found most of the tapes in secure storage … this material has been remastered  at EVE studios Manchester England and is now being released … the songs are truly more powerful than ever …

Dick smith started spring 1978 in New Brighton England and ended in spring 1982 . In that time we did close to  1,000 gigs and released 2 indie singles , the gigs were mainly in the North West of England and Scotland. When the band ended 3 of the original members moved onto “the Other Side” which did a lot of gigs …  its main work was in writing songs , trying to get someone to take it all on and produce it , we came close but it never happened and it all ended in 1989. This web site tells the story of that journey and makes the music we did available
