Having left Suspect Peter was asked by Ian Williams and Terry Chedzoy to join them in reforming SPYKE with a female singer, (Twiggie).

 

After a few practice sessions, SPYKE was re-born. in April 1973.

In June Twiggie decided to depart leaving the 3 back to where they were the previous Summer.

​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​SPYKE continued playing but as the music changed the instrumental side of the band clearly needed additional flexibility, particularly with the demands of "disco" music which was becoming a requirement for a band designed for dancing.

The search was on for the right personality to complement the line up.

​

In 1974 Rod Trowel (Bass Guitar, formerly of King Rod and Co. was invited to join and Peter moved over to play rhythm guitar, a very expensive move as this ultimately led Peter to "do his best" to master keyboards, MIDI and sequencing.

​

As a signal to change the style of the band, they changed their name to JINKS.

In 1976 Ian decided to take a break from the "high life" and concentrate on his banking career. The search was on for a replacement Lead Guitarist.
