The Quireboys were formed in London in late 1985/86. The band were originally called ‘The Choirboys’ after a movie they had seen, but colleagues on the building site where Spike and Guy worked joked they should be called ‘The Queerboys’ due to the way they looked. ‘The Queerboys’ started building up a following, playing the old Marquee, regularly selling it out. The group were offered a slot on the Reading festival during 86/87 on the understanding they would change their name and so ‘The Quireboys’ were born. Ginger (now in The Wildhearts) was a full time member of the band, making his debut when the band supported Guns'N'Roses at the Hammersmith Odeon.

Spike has also recorded with Poison guitarist C.C. Deville, and has sung backing vocals for L.A. Guns and Company of Wolves.
