During the days of Coda, Neil began working with Dave Turner on what seemed    at first to be self indulgent and very avant-garde material. These songs were    initially recorded on Dave's FourTrack equipment and Neil's gothic influences    are very much apparent. Dave's guitar playing, in contrast to the faithful Coda sound, utilised an assortment of phasers, flangers and chorus pedals in  order to begin to help define an original style.  After Coda had 'dissolved' Dave and Neil took a selection of these songs and then began to look for a bass player and drummer to complete the line up for their new band. Granville Bowen, a very versatile and  talented drummer auditioned and joined  The Inquisition. During the long search for an appropriate bass player, session musicians had to be called in to help out with the bands first demo tape and also a headline show at Bowling Tide Festival in Bradford. Graham Jones provided the bass for the four songs on the 'Flowers In Vain' demo and Carl Carl Stipetic  played keyboards. It then became apparent that the band would suit a permanent keyboard player.    Eventually with Russell  Hodgson taking on the bass and Darren Bellerby joining the    band on keys, The Inquisition was complete. There then followed weeks of intense    rehearsals and also more recording work undertaken predominantly at Dave's. It was    during this time that changes took place in Dave's personal life which began to cause    problems for the band. Completely out-of-the-blue Dave decided to quit.    [next page]
