Hi.

I'm new on here, but joined up to point out that Nog was not the vocalist on The Preacher/Mean Lady, the guy listed as Everett was the vocalist. I can't for the life of me remember his first name, but his nickname was Little Hen, or Little N as it became. Nog had a hand in writing The Preacher and is listed as Davidson, not his real surname which is unpronounceable. Why Davidson? He rode a Harley.

When Nog took over on vocals, the band's name was changed to Fingers Joice.

Nog was eventually replaced by yours truly, and persuaded the other guys to change the band's name back to Avalanche.

This much-changed line up was:-

Andy "Wolf" Mott : bass and lead vocals.
Carl "Wraggy" Wragg : guitar and backing vocals.
Andy "Pelly" Pell : drums.

Hope that helps to clear it up, guys ...
