After the
demise of the Precautions in 1983 Neil Senior (bass)
and Steve Caughton (aka Steve Coughlan, vocals, guitars) (ex
Precautions) formed the Lilac Times, recruiting John Patterson (drums).
According to Coughlan, he and Senior meet in Paris in 1984, after losing touch some time
before. On returning to Liverpool they
recruited Patterson and started writing new material and playing live. In 1984
their first two-track demo came out (Waiting for the Tide, A Day in Gaza),
followed by a second five-track tape later the same year (Opposite Sides, When
the Rains Come, Something’s Happening, Things We Say, Temporary Things). By
1985 the trio was extended by the inclusion of Ian Lewis (keyboards, ex
Precautions, later Dream Legion, now Alternative Radio).
In 1986 the Lilac Trumpet
released their first and only 12”
vinyl, recorded at Pink Studios and produced by Ian Broudie:
Someone Else’s World (1986)
- Someone Else’s World
- I Should Have Known
- One of These Days
In 1987 Ian
Copestake (guitar, vocals, former South Parade) briefly joined the band (February-July
1987). A song by the band (My Heart Bleeds) resurfaced in 2007 on The Sound Of Leamington Spa Vol. 6.
