NWoBHM act from Dover, Kent. Released a demo on the DTS label in 1982.
One night in 1981, whilst singing to a jukebox in the pub, vocalist Andy McMurray was approached by guitarist Jimmy Mcfarnell, who needed a vocalist for a band he was trying to get off the ground.
He agreed to go along and try out, and due to no one else turning up for the audition, duly got the job.
The band was completed with the lineup of Keith Tomlinson on keys, Simon Mills also on guitar, Neil Basford on bass and Julian Wheatley on drums - drummer Albert Ulvmoen would later join the band after Wheatley had left.
The band boasted a complete set of original songs and MASTERSTROKE lasted for three years, between 1981 and 1984.
Andy McMurray worked for several bands since, and currently sings for a band called User Friendly.
