The British heavy metal band LIMELIGHT was formed in 1967 by teenage brother guitarists Mike and Glenn Scrimshaw along with bassist John Dakin while still in school. In the early days the band was purely instrumental and for more important shows they hired drummer Jimmy Stephenson. Many line-up changes took place over the years. Bassist / vocalist Trevor Wilson left to pursue a country & western career while vocalist John Brierly became a director of EMI Records. They toured Australia in the 70s. The debut album was re-released in 1982 by Avatar Records.
After their second album "Ashes to Ashes", the band recorded a third album called "Whitefire" in Germany, but it was never released. Only the title track appeared in the "Best of British (a Rock Collection)" (Zebra Records, 1985).
