Simon Husbands had been in Nottingham group Mensch from 1971 to 1977. At the end of 1977 Gwaihir were formed playing a blend of prog rock with new wave sensibilities and playing the local Nottingham circuit. In 1979 they changed their name to Zero-iD, shortened their songs to a more pop sound.

They recorded 6 songs which you can hear on Spotify, iTunes and a YouTube playlist here. Some of the Zero ID stuff was recorded at Radio Trent as part of a session for broadcast, some of it at Paddy Flynn’s studio.
