The Krew were the backing band for Nik Kershaw at the height of his fame. Each band member (apart from additional member Gary Wallis who joined the group later prior to The Riddle tour) passed the audition process by Nik and his then manager Mickey Modern, to form a group of musicians who went on to support Nik for tv appearances, world tours and studio recordings.
With their own identity now recognised and whilst Nik was busy writing for his 3rd album release, the guys decided to release their own single by 1985/86 entitled "Paper Heroes". Here the four Kershaw Krew members welcomed Steve Lee (vocals) and Gary Miller (guitar) to record the song. Great song but no chart entry and no 2nd single followed.
By 1988 The Krew had disbanded and parted company with Nik although Tim Moore and Gary Miller stayed on for the then forth-coming The Works album promotional stuff and a tour as supporting act with Elton John in 1989 before Nik's solo career ceased for a period of time which he spent writing/Producing for other artists.
