1988 - Re-Launch
In the years following the break up the band in 1983, their were periodic Stargazers reunions involving some or all of the original member. Most of these were shortlived. However, the longest-lived incarnation of the band came in November 1988 when Pete and Ricky once again made contact. The original intention had been to re-unite the first band, but John Wallace and Anders Janes had to turn down the invitation. Anders, of course, at this time, was heavily involved with the legendary Chevalier Brothers.
The reunited band therefore contained some new Stargazers. Here is a picture of the band at this time, showing (left to right, top row) Chris Gardner , Pete Davenport, Danny Brittain , and Tim Purkess (left to right bottom row) Clive Osborne and Ricky Lee Brawn.
This shot was taken shortly before Ricky left the band temporarily for treatment on his cancerous hip. It shows (l to r) Clive, Dan, Pete, Tim, Rick, Sam Gardner (Chris's son), & Chris. At this time Clive, Pete and Tim were parents too. Ricky has since had a daughter.
