The Scarecrows were formed in December 1982 by Dave Twist and Mandy Darlington following their previous time in the Bible Belt. The band consisted of: Mandy Darlington (Vocals), Dave Twist (Drums), Bob Cotterill (Bass) Jeremy Thirlby (Guitar) and Adrian Shepherd and Steve Elliot (Keyboards).
Here’s some great footage of the band from the legendary Peacocks club on the 23/08/1984

After three gigs at the Odeon New Street, The Scarecrows at Peacocks was my first intimate gig. I think it was about March 1985 and if memory serves, the support was Wild and Wandering who later morphed into Pop Will Eat Itself. Me and my friends were in our last year of senior school and we’d brought the Napalm and Silver 12″, so seeing the Scarecrows up close was a great new experience for us all.
