In 1976, Charles Hayward of Phil Manzanera's Quiet Sun (and, briefly, Gong) joined with Charles Bullen and Gareth Williams to form This Heat. Though arising from art-rock and the British school of fusion jazz, This Heat quickly developed into an experimental band largely dependent on tape loops and production tricks. This Heat dissolved in 1982-1983 following a European tour in which Trefor Goronwy replaced Gareth Williams who had recently departed the band. Charles Bullen went on to solo work and put together his own studio in the late 1980s; he has recently issued a CD under his own name. Gareth Williams subsequently released a cassette-only album Flaming Tunes in 1985 with Mary Currie and continued to perform as a DJ until shortly before his death. Charles Hayward decided to keep up public performances and formed The Camberwell Now along with Trefor Goronwy and several others.
