[2] In May 1979, Z Block moved to Splott, Cardiff, where they set about organising the city's first DIY compilation LP.
Later that year, Alison merged this work with a London-based project which brought in Simon Emmerson to create a new band named Weekend.
[citation needed] Bomb and Dagger performed regularly throughout South Wales including the Brecon Jazz Festival before splitting up in 1989 following a gruelling European tour.
After an eight-year break, Spike and Alison Statton returned to the studio thanks to the support of Rough Trade founder, Geoff Travis.
Between 1991 and 1997 Statton and Spike produced Weekend in Wales (EP) and two home made studio albums, Tidal Blues and The Shady Tree for Vinyl Japan.
