No Smokin'

From: Belfast? / N.IRL

Active: 1978-79

Style:

Lineup:

Bio:

I know nothing about this outfit but their single has been offered on ebay a few times. The first time is was described as "[A-side] is a slowish rock ballad, the other is a brilliant upbeat NWOBHM track". And then about a month later as "rock 'n' roll / rockabilly [A-side]" and "good folk/rock ballad with female vocals [B-side]." Where would we be without eBay, eh?

Update: Davy Smith's band was in fact called Smicker but this single was released under the No Smokin' name. Davy's history dates back to the Pasado Showband and a mid-70s outfit called Candy. He is also the same Davy Smith who produced the Undertones "Teenage Kicks" EP in 1978 and the Outcasts debut LP in 1979. The original Smicker lineup was Davy Smyth, his wife Valerie Smyth, Nicky Scott (guitar), Victor Black (keyboards), Mike McMillan (bass) and Jeff Kirk (drums).
