Formed: 1978

Andy Radek – Guitar (Tamworth)
Colin Richardson – Bass (Lichfield)
Steve Sheldon – Drums (Wilnecote)
Paul Watts – Guitar (Lichfield)

Additional Members: Paul Reeves (drums)

ICE played many venues in and around Tamworth. As Willow they were the first band to play at the Tamworth Arts Centre. They were also regulars at The Chequers, Hopwas and The Lichfield Arts Centre. The first line up was Mick Rutherford (vocals) Colin Richardson (Bass) Paul Watts (Guitar) Andy Radek (Guitar) and Steve Sheldon (Drums). Steve left the band in 1979 and was replaced by Paul Reeves on drums. This line up remained until the band split in 1982. Mick Rutherford and Paul Reeves re-emerged in 1984 as members of Dickens.

Mick Rutherford was described, in the Tamworth Herald, as the 'Godfather of Tamworth Rock'. Read the Mick Rutherford profile in the characters section of this website.

Their 1979 album, 'Saga of the Ice King', was a concept album released by Storm Records, released in the middle of the Punk/New Wave era but was pure rock.

A little known fact about the album is that the strings were arranged by Mick Rutherford, who, with the other members of the band, produced the album. The album was recorded in Colin Richardson’s garden shed which was converted into a studio.
