Organized in London by vocalist
Terry Sharpe and guitarist
Pat Gribben (formerly of Belfast's Starjets),
the Adventures also comprised vocalist
Eileen Gribben, guitarist Gerard "Spud" Murphy, bassist
Tony Ayre and drummer
Pat Crowder. The group signed to Chrysalis and released their self-titled debut album in 1984 (
Theodore & Friends was a re-packaged version for the U.S. market), but didn't find success until four years later, after moving to Elektra Records. The 1988 album
Sea of Love contained the modest hit "Broken Land" but failed to move much beyond that. After another album the following year,
Trading Secrets with the Moon,
the Adventures drifted into obscurity. ~ John Bush
