Di'Anno was a band featuring former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'Anno, whom the band was named after.
The band has released the albums Di'Anno and Live From London. In the year 2000 the album Nomad was released under the band name of Di'Anno, with different musicians. The initial line-up featured Paul Ward - guitars, Lee Slater (Ex-Minas Tirith) - guitars, Mark Venables (Ex-Minas Tirith)- keyboards, Kevin Browne (Ex-Minas Tirith) - Bass and Mark Stewart (Ex-Minas Tirith) - Drums. This, according to the Iron Maiden family tree sections of Iron Maiden's CDs with multimedia sections.
After this Paul Di'anno was hired to join Gogmagog with future Iron Maiden guitarist Janick Gers, former Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr, along with other musicians to form this "super group".
Di'Anno is the 1984 self-titled album of the band of the same name. The lead singer Paul Di'Anno had been the frontman of the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden for five years, before being dismissed for his erratic behaviour. The band bearing his name and playing very commercial heavy rock was his first and short-lived solo project.
This album was actually released in Japan first with strange album title Two Swimmers & A Bag of Jockies. This was actually intended is a tribute to their friend and ex-drummer Mark Stewart, a cockney from East London. Two swimmers refers to fish, and jockies' whips is slang for chips - so literally: 2 fish and a bag of chips.
The album reached only No. 105 in the UK Albums Chart and the band disbanded at the conclusion of the short tour supporting the release.
