Unknown to the band at the time the name was chosen, GBH is derived from the British legal phrase, Grievous bodily harm. Another band was using the name, so they added Charged onto GBH. It began with Colin (Col) Abrahall on vocals, Colin (Jock) Blyth on guitar, Ross Lomas on bass, as well as their first drummer Andrew Williams. The band mostly toured in England during the 1980s, however they did make several excursions out of the island, including several tours to the United States. Some of their most famous shows that they played during the 1980s were at the 100 Club in Oxford Street in London.

Bell End Bop Lyrics

GBH

I met you at a party, it was 10 pm.
I was outside being sick so I called inside again.
I opened another bottle, but that made 'em feel worse.
I was sick for the second time, it made me shout and curse.
The music played so loud it made my ears pop.
When I went dancing, down at the Bell End Bop.
They were doing it on the tables, they were doing it on the chairs.
They were doing it on the dance floor, they were doing it upstairs.
But the police came and raided the place, said the music was too loud.
I didn't want to get recognized so I mingled with the crowd.
There were people dressed as Batman, they really looked a mess.
Then to my amazement I found it was a fancy dress.
A young girl came up to me she was tall and slim,
had oranges down her bra said she was Nell Gwyn.
There's only one place where you can rock.
Come on, let's go dancing, down at the Bell End Bop.
