The Alarm

Appeared at the Isle of Wight Festival in 2010

The Alarm are an alternative rock band that emerged from North Wales in the late 1970s. They started as a Mod band and stayed together for over ten years. Unusually for a rock band, they displayed marked influences from Welsh language and culture. By opening for acts such as U2 and Bob Dylan, they became a popular alternative rock band of the 1980s, retaining a small but loyal following to the present day.

The Alarm are: Mike Peters, James Stevenson, Craig Adams and Steve Grantley.
