Crossfire started as an idea of Singer/Lead Guitarist Gavin Scovell. Gavin had played in bands on the Island during the 90’s but over the last few years had been gigging with his friend Dave Woodford as a duo. But due to Dave’s work committments their gigs were becoming fewer and far between. Gav decided that he would put a band together to scratch his musical itch and fill in some gigs between his duo work with Dave.
The lineup changed somewhat over the first year but by the spring of 2007 it had settled down to Gavin (Vocals/Guitar), Chris O’Connell (Drums/Backing Vocals), John Heath (Guitar) and Dave White (Bass). At the start of the summer they brought in Stewart Woodward (Vocals/Guitar) to share the singing duties with Gavin.
The bands first gig was a private one for Dave’s boss and was supposed to take place in a gazebo on a hot summers day in July. Unfortunately no one had told the weather that it was summer and it proceeded to chuck it down with rain. But the show must go on and the band proceeded to empty Dave’s boss’ living room of all its furniture and set up their gear.
The gig was as you’d expect very intimate with the party goers dancing practically on top of the band.
Despite this succesful start the band didn’t start gigging regularly until the end of the year.
2008 saw Crossfire play plenty of gigs and things were going well until in May, John decided to quit the band. The rest of the band soldiered on as a 4-piece and played loads of gigs throughout 2009 and have plenty more lined up for 2010!
