Witness formed in 1997 in the Northern UK town of Wigan. Their debut album, Before the Calm was released to critical acclaim in 1999. The band toured extensively including festival slots and tours with the likes of The Charlatans, Embrace, Wilco, Whiskeytown, Deus and many more.
Their second album, Under A Sun followed in 2001 to more critical acclaim. However, due to too much interference from the record company the band were not happy with the record and it eventually led to the band parting their ways in 2003.
Gerard has released his debut solo album, along with some help from Dylan Keeton and John Langley. John Langley is also playing with the Blue Aeroplanes whilst Julian is doing different kinds of session work. Ray is currently a music promoter in Hong Kong.
