Who Can Predict the Weather?

 

 

By request... 

 

 

The Weather Prophets was formed in 1986 by Peter Astor - guitar & vocals & Dave Morgan - drums when their previous band, The Loft, broke up. The original line-up had Creation Records head-honcho Alan McGee playing bass, but he became their manager when Astor & Morgan recruited David Greenwood Goulding - bass & Oisin Little - guitar to complete the line up. 

 

The Singles.

Their debut single Almost Prayed was released by Creation shortly after their formation.

Side A -

The songs on Almost Prayed seemed to be a logical progression of The Loft style so the response was favorable from both Loft fans & music critics. A second single was quickly released by Creation that same year.
