Producer Bob Sargeant approached Blair about joining a band with Nick Heyward. Blair met Nick at The Roundhouse in Camden and eventually hit it off after a visit to a near by pub. Rehearsals were put in place in order to showcase and attract record company interest. Sony Columbia Division wanted to sign the band, although the band did not have a name, nor in fact did any of it's members wish to be signed to a record label except for Blair and Nick. Signing a record deal means you are owned exclusively to that label, this spells bad news for session players who like to run their lives independently in order to get work.
Nick and Blair signed to Sony. "From Monday to Sunday" was recorded at Pete Townshend's studio Eel Pye, but was later re-recorded and released after Blair had left Sony to sign to MCA Records with Oui 3. During the Heyward sessions Blair wrote, recorded and sang " The Usual", which has since been covered by Grethe Svensen on her hit album "Your Beauty" BMG Records.
