U4EA
U4EA members were Pat Canavan on Bass, vocals & keys, Steve Charlton on drums and Blair Waddell on guitar & vocals. We "officially" played together from 1986 until 1991. We understand now that there are countless bands who covet the U4EA name. Well we were the first in what seems to be a long line of U4eans. You may be able to find some others on the WEB.

"Mystery"
Mystery is U4EA's most successful single and blended Celtic rhythms with the bands classic rock style. It featured 48th Highlander Lead piper Sandy Dewar. Mystery made the top 100 of 1990 on the RPM music chart.
About the Artist
Pat has always worked with Canadian artists to express visually what the
music was resonating. On Mystery Pat teamed with painter Ken Kirkby. This
was the beginning of a friendship and relationship that would see these
two work together on Kirkby's Isumataq project.
Again, Glenn Forbes directed this bold visual film performance that saw national and international airplay.
