Wild Horses (UK)

Wild Horses was formed in the summer of 1978 by ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson and ex-Rainbow bassist Jimmy Bain.

In June 1981, Robertson and Edwards both left Wild Horses in the wake of the band’s Paris Theatre show in London. Robertson teamed up with Motorhead a year later and recorded “Another Perfect Day” in 1983, before moving on to join fellow Scotsman Frankie Miller on the “Dancing In The Rain” album in 1986.
