1976 – 1978
Line-up included
Derek Bowley (vocals, rhythm guitar & flute)
Mick Morris (lead guitar, piano & vocals)
D. Evans (bass)
Dave Blakey (drums)
Mick Murray (tenor and alto saxes).
The group came into being when Mirkwood ended in mid-1976. Mick Morris had been playing a lot of jazz in between Mirkwood gigs over the last two or three years and Jack Castle had decided to join a dance band playing functions.
After five years of playing their own compositions, everybody it seems felt the need to do something different and for a while Sprinter was part of the answer.
Sprinter played a lot of Steely Dan but their repertoire also included material from sources as diverse as Glen Campbell and Duke Ellington! The group lasted until 1978.
