The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, the home of Touchdown, Touchdown's members are blessed to be able to live in such a beautiful country, and although they intend to spead their wings and venture wherever their musical ambitions may take them,Trinidad and Tobago will always be home.

The Dream: Andrew Bernard and Robert Beadon met in the summer of1975 both at the age of thirteen. Robert's brother introduced them one day at a football match in the area. They arranged to meet that night with a couple of freinds at the "big tree" (which was literally a huge tree that hung over a hill overlooking the city of San Fernando) and to play some songs on acoustic guitars recently acquired by them both. It was on that night that they decided they wanted to form a band and make music their careers. However, there were a couple of snags. 

Firstly, Robert was leaving for England where he was to spend the next five years in school. Endof plans right? Wrong!                                                                            

They decided that thay would wait out theseyears seeing each other only dyring summer holidays, and would form the band when Robert returned from England. Boyish dreams, right? wrong!

They waited, and while Robert was away learning about fuzz guitars, Andrew was in Trinidad trying to find membersfor the band. The year was 1981 and Andrew's first mission was to find a keyboard player, and it was not long before he located the right one, Robert Johson.

As time passed by, Andrew and Robert Johnson finished school and entered the working world,and it was at this point the Andrew started looking for a drummer. Coincidentally, the wife of Arthur Reid has just begun to work for Andrew's father about three months before Beadon was to return, and one day, asked Andrew if they had found a drummer for the band. Andrew, not wanting to dampen the excitement that was being generated by the talk of this new rock band, said that they had, and insiuated that the band was almost ready to appear live. Luckily, Andrew soon found out that her husband was a drummer, and he was promptly invited to join the band to prepare for Beadon's return.

Touchdown is now the proud owner of a 32 track recording studio, and is one of the only, if not, the only band in the Caribbean to have built their studio within three and a half years of performing.
