Info (from http://www.shywolf.co.uk/phil_toone.php)
At 17 Phil formed his own band called SPOONFULL (1976). The band had considerable success with their single "Troubled Times" (Pye Records), and indeed were recognised as the No.1 rock band in the Midlands. Alas, to the fans' disappointment, the band split in 1979. In early 1980 Phil was persuaded by "Big Bear" records of Birmingham to reform the band with an offer of a slot on a live LP. The LP was to be called "Live at the Barrel Organ".

The new line up was also to include bass player and vocalist, Steve Littlewood. The band was later renamed "Blitz", who went on to support "Budgie" and "The Tom Robinson Band" in 1981. "Blitz" then became "ShyWolf" in with the addition of Jay Melbourne. Jay was an instant success with Phil Toone and Steve Littlewood and in 1982 the band hit the road under the new name of ShyWolf, which coincided with the release of their single Lucretia/California Jam.

Some more info (related to Dawn Trader)
Nottingham outfit DAWN TRADER emanated from local band SCREW which featured vocalist Mick Preston, guitarist Chris Allard and drummer Keith White. SCREW split in 1979 with Allard convincing Preston and White to join forces with bassist Ric Evans of LAZY and SPOONFULL to form DAWN TRADER. Within a month guitarist Wayne Vizard was added and the band began to gig around the Nottingham and local circuit. Guitarist Chris Allard takes up the tale.................. Further band changes abounded when White and Kealey quit to form Blues act ABK, White's position being filled by former SAVAGE drummer Dave Lindley and finally local drummer Don Bailey became a Trader stalwart.
