After Hours released their debut album, Take Off, in 1988 through FM-Revolver Records. The band featured a line up of John Francis on Lead Vocals, Tim Payne on Lead Guitar, Martin Walls on Bass Guitar and Mark Addison on Drums. Keyboards on the album were played by Rick Young, though he was credited separately from the band. This album marked the start and the end of After Hours‘ relationship with FM-Revolver.

Judithe Randall pitched Global Chrysalis Music (now BMG) some songs for After Hours through Peter Knight Jr, who became a great supporter of the Randalls. Global picked out 3 songs for the band to cut, which they did, and the Randalls signed a sub-pub deal with Global. Despite this, for reasons still unknown to us, the album was never released. The Randalls remained signed to Global. Judithe and Robin asked John Francis to sing on their epic song “Can’t Keep The Wind From Blowing” of which he did, and remained in contact with them.

Finally, in 2021, Andrew McNiece was able to secure rights to release the recordings of After Hours, along with the help of John Francis, and the resources of Peter Knight Jr.

Free started singing professionally at the age of 19 while living in Flint, Michigan (1973). In 1975, Free moved to Las Vegas, Nevada which eventually (in 1979) led to her relocating to Los Angeles, CA where she met Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge, Beck, Bogert & Appice, Rod Stewart) in 1983. Together they formed King Kobra and were signed to Capitol Records in 1984.

When Nancy was young, her Mom had her memorize poetry. By the time she was 13, she knew she wanted to be a lyricist. She vividly remembers sitting on the field of her Junior High, reading books of poetry and realized she was obsessed.

Her path to becoming a lyricist has not been a direct one, rather more of a meandering lane, but the destination unwavering. Along the way she met musicians and writers who were generous and kind and took her under their wing. She spent a summer with Al Jarreau who took her along to the studio for recording sessions, which were the first pro sessions she had ever sat in on. Al had a great impact on her writing. She won an international songwriting contest for her first lyric “Hero of My Heart”.

Later on, Nancy was introduced to Judithe Randall, who recognized her talent and her passion for lyrics. She introduced Nancy to her daughter, Robin. Nancy sent lyrics to Robin and they began to collaborate. Judithe also introduced her to other writers and out of those introductions came more lyrics and more songs. Judithe lived and breathed the music business and welcomed Nancy into the fold.

So much life happened in between songs. Many more songs were born during the pandemic which everyone may enjoy on her SoundCloud channel: Ivory Black Music.

Tim Simms has been a 'music professional' for over 25 years both on and off stage. He created New Millennium Records Group (NMRG) in 1998 as an 'artist's label' as he knew what it felt like to be on the other side of the fence trying to break into the music business coming up in the ranks as a musician/songwriter himself.

He now produces, manages and signs artists to 'win/win deals' that are beneficial to both the artist and NMRG. He has a strong passion for what he does and only 'takes on' a few clients per year so he can dedicate as much personal attention to the success of an artist's career as possible. He operates on the highest professional level possible successfully developing working relationships (that often grow into friendships) with industry professionals throughout all facets of the entertainment business worldwide.
