Hi Trev

I do remember seeing Streetfighter. The name John Sykes rings a bell too. That other band I mentioned 'Forever' did a lot of Doobie Brothers stuff and old Stax / Atlantic covers. The lead vocalist Sean was a window cleaner by day (I think).

Shabby Tiger were another band that sometimes played the Regent on a Monday night. Everyone always made a big deal about them when they were on. I think it was because they'd had a couple of minor hits. I always preferred Forever and Thunderbird Sabden myself (no offence to the Shabby guys if you ever read this;-)
