Not to be confused with the US band Legend, who released the album "From The Fjords" in 1979, or the other NWOBHM band Legend who were from Kent, this Legend was from the UK Channel Island of 'Jersey'.   Despite radio airplay on the BBC Friday Rock Show, opening for Thin Lizzy on several occasions, and a fantastic  write up in Sounds magazine, the band failed to break into the mainstream.  Quite a shame, because there is a whole lot to like here...especially the incredible fretwork of one Peter Haworth.  These guys were outstanding...  Good vocals, catchy tunes and killer guitar. 

​

Cool story...By 1984, however, they had called it quits after a final live appearance at London's legendary Marquee club, where a pretty well-known musician was in attendance. Pete Haworth recalls: “We didn’t play very well, however, Lemmy did buy a copy of »Death In The Nursery« and asked me to sign it. Then he took me and my brother Neil to some club in Soho and I can’t remember much after that!”

Cool story #2 (from interview with Pete Haworth [6/10/200])...A good story ? well we didn’t really get on with Thin Lizzy when we supported them. It was the first gig of their comeback tour and they were playing in Jersey. At the time our first album had just been released that week, had been played by Tommy Vance on his Friday Rock Show on the BBC and the excitement was high. Because of the difficulties shipping equipment to the island both bands used the same locally hired PA so Lizzy had no control over the volume or sound quality we played at. At rehearsal we kicked and I could see they were a bit awkward about us supporting them. We had quite an impressive pyrotechnic show and our road crew spent a couple of hours wiring everything up. As the lights dimmed on the night of the gig and about 2,500 fans started chanting “Legend” we burst onto the stage only to find that the Lizzy crew had severed all the wires for our stage show. You can imagine how pissed off we were. Still, it ended up being a good night and the fans enjoyed the music but we learned a lesson that night not to trust another bands roadcrew!
