The original Judas Priest had formed in Early September 1969 by Al Atkins on lead vocals and Bruno Stapenhill on bass (born Brian Stapenhill, in 1948, Stone Cross, West Bromwich, Staffordshire), with Ernie Chataway on lead guitar (born Ernest Chataway, in 1952, in Winston Green, Birmingham, Warwickshire) and John Partridge on drums (born in c 1948, West Bromwich, Staffordshire). Stappenhill came up with the name Judas Priest and they rehearsed at Stappenhill’s house in Stone Cross, West Bromwich. The band played their first gig on 25 November 1969 at The George Hotel in Walsall, Staffordshire and then toured Scotland in December 1969 and January 1970. This band split in April 1970 after their last gig on 20 April at The Youth Centre in Cannock, Staffordshire. Atkins met the next line-up of Judas Priest at a church called St James in Wednesbury, near West Bromwich, Staffordshire. This place was called Holy Joe’s by the locals and here Atkins met lead guitarist Kenny Downing, bassist Ian ’Skull’
