Beachcoma started around 1980, Ian and Jem would get together for a bit of a jam playing some JJ Cale, Dire Straits, and some Shadows tunes, Nigel joined later bringing the sound from a late 1950's Hofner President Bass, and then things went the way of fast moving Surf style of music which then became there very own

This was the beginning of COMA.....

In the early years of the band they used to get together with a friend called Jic (spelling?) on drums, then we heard about this young chap called Dave 
(commonly known as Chaz these days) he jumped at the chance to play with the Band

Coma then went on and did many gigs in their short 4 years together, and can claim a large amount of fans, and support.

While recording the Shotgun E P it was the record company who asked the boys to change their name to "BeachComa"

With many radio plays all around the world and in the UK, including Radio Caroline

They also featured on a compilation CD "Hang 11" released all over Europe and later to the biggest Surf Music fan base in Japan, they made their mark on

"Surf music"

BeachComa will be very well remembered for that very sound they can call their own.

If you think that they should "do it again" send your feedback.
