There have been several enquiries regarding any available digital releases of the first 2 EMI albums. It would seem that Korean record label Big Pink have released both albums in CD format. They can be found here:

Original members Roger ‘Peaches’ Ferris, Dzal Martin, Munch Moore and Kit Wyles will be joined once again by Victy Silva (2nd keys, BV’s,perc) and Andrew Linham (sax). And our old friend Gus Goad (The Look, Ian Hunter Band) will be supplying the bottom end.

And we’re very pleased to welcome special guests Morrissey and Marshall in support 'Darren Morrissey and Greg Marshall are the unlikely lads that everyone likes. An Irish duo of no fixed haircut, whose gloriously uplifting harmony folk-pop songs have swept aside all obstacles in their path, they have been compared to such giants of the genre as Simon & Garfunkel and the Everly Brothers.'

But wait - all is not well back home, the dark forces of punk are rising! No Dice return from America to record their second LP (with Munch Moore now firmly ensconced on keyboards) a rock opus done on the Rolling Stones mobile and mixed in New York entitled ‘2 Faced’ (with Rupert Holmes in the production chair and incidentally writing ‘The Pina Colada Song’ whilst producing the band on location in the green valleys of rural Wales!) The British music press hate it - and them. How dare they perpetuate the heresy of playing unfashionably well, writing tunes and having fun??

Things begin to fall apart - Chris leaves at the end of the tour and management and record co’s are suffering from frozen feet. No Dice sail on alone picking up new hands - Frankie Hepburn on guitar and Jakko,Saxophone. Spinal Tap drummer-syndrome affliction sees Tony Fernandez and John Richardson pass through the rhythm seat.

But to no avail: 2 independently released singles (‘How About You/ No conversation’ and ‘One More Night/ There goes another Girl’) and an aborted 3rd album fail to dig the Dice out of the hole of ‘nearly were’ and the band fold at a final show in the legendary Marquee Club in Wardour Street in 1982 (or was it 83?).

Old Grey Whistle Test

Just prior to the US tour

After some club gigs and an opening stint for UFO, in the year Elvis succumbed to one hamburger too many, they lock themselves away in Abbey Road and Island studios ‘til all hours making ‘No Dice’ their imaginatively titled debut album, produced by Steve Smith and engineered by Phill Brown. Tours supporting Eddie and the Hotrods, the Tom Robinson Band, a Reading festival appearance and a lengthy jaunt round Europe with Status Quo, all lead up to a 10-week tour of America. Support slots with Foghat, REO Speedwagon, Judas Priest, Rainbow, Eddie Money, Black Oak Arkansas & Cheap Trick,ensure the band are playing from 400 to 20,000 seat halls and stadiums. Loadsa fun.

When finally released they signed with Pink Floyd’s management company Emka Productions whose considerable influence - and the band’s talent - nabbed them a deal with EMI/Capitol records.

In 1975, from the ashes of a band you’ve never heard of (March Hare) Gary Strange and Dzal Martin added Roger Ferris and Chris Wyles to themselves and formed the fledgling No Dice, a blues/rock band in Stones/Faces style but with room to manoeuvre into more adventurous musical seas if the urge took them. After some demos and one single release ‘I need someone’ on DJM records, they sat out a not very beneficial contract.

A one off gig was booked at the bands old stomping ground - Dingwalls on May 16th 2012. It was a fantastic night and great that so many people came out to see the band after such a long time.

Adding Svetlana Vassileva from Moby's touring band on bass and Victy Silva (Mick Ronson/SAHB,Tom Jones and the Stereophonics) on backing vocals and extra keys, rehearsals began.

A little research found Roger 'Peaches' Ferris and Dave 'Munch' Moore from the original line up, a reunion drink was organised and over a couple of pints a plan was hatched!!

Due to interest on You Tube and other internet sites original drummer Chris Wyles and guitarist Dzal Martin floated the idea of playing the songs one more time purely for the fun of doing it.

A review of the gig can be found here And our friends at Origami films made a film which is here (Special thanks to Bill and Jem)
