Blue Peter

The Blue Peter story started in the mid-to-late 70's when Chris Wardman and Paul Humphrey, who became the nucleus of the band, began practising and writing material in the Wardman's basement in Markham, Ontario. By the release of the 1983 Steve Nye produced 'Falling' LP, the line-up had stabilized with the addition of Jason Sniderman on keyboards and Owen Tennyson on drums and the band scored a Top40 hit with "Don't Walk Past".
