Storm were a London, England-based band, formed in 1989 by multi-instrumentalist James McNally and guitarist/tenor banjo player Tom McManamon. The two had previously played together in Dingle Spike.

As well as playing their own shows, the band opened tours by U2 (on their Zooropa tour) and The Pogues. McNally went on to join The Pogues, before founding Afro Celt Sound System. McManamon would become a member of The Popes, backing Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan live and in studio, as well as touring and recording on their own. Bird of Prayer also featured drummer Dylan Howe, son of Yes guitarist Steve Howe, who has also worked with Ian Dury and the Blockheads
