A late 70's supergroup fronted by erstwhile LOVE AFFAIR singer Steve Ellis. Guitarist Ariel Bender (real name Luther Grosvenor) is ex-MOTT THE HOOPLE and LOVE AFFAIR, bassist Bob Daisley was previously with KAHVAS JUTE, CHICKEN SHACK and BROKEN GLASS while drummer Paul Nichols was previously with SKIP BIFFERTY and LINDISFARNE.

WIDOWMAKER debuted live opening for THE WHO in their football stadium gigs of 1975 before recording the eponymous first album. Butler assumed vocal duties following Ellis's departure for the release of 'Too Late To Cry'. Sometime HAWKWIND guitarist HUW LLOYD LANGTON was added as second guitarist. WIDOWMAKER split in 1977 after achieving moderate success in America. Even before the closure of this tour Daisley had auditioned, and been accepted, into the ranks of Ritchie Blackmore's RAINBOW.

Daisley later turned up in many known Hard Rock bands such as URIAH HEEP, GARY MOORE, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, BLACK SABBATH and as main songwriter and lyricist for most of OZZY OSBOURNE's albums. Daisley also created MOTHER'S ARMY for a run of three albums in collaboration with NIGHTANGER guitarist JEFF WATSON and fronted by ex-DEEP PURPLE and RAINBOW singer JOE LYNN TURNER.

Daisley recently toured with DIO and by 2002 was touting a new Blues group THE HOOCHIE COOCHIE MEN. He would subsequently forge a further 'supergroup' venture LIVING LOUD with Australian star JIMMY BARNES, DEEP PURPLE keyboard player JON LORD and guitarist STEVE MORSE with URIAH HEEP's Lee Kerslake on the drums. The bassist also made time to session for GARY MOORE once more in 2003. Guitarist LUTHER GROSVENOR issued a solo album.
