They were long-haired as you might expect and as a rule they finished with a stonking version of 'Stairway to Heaven' that everyone loved. The worked at the Penny - so it must have been around '74 when they were doing the rounds.

Sure I remember them now, they did great cover versions, saw them a couple of times at the Imperial I think?

Their version of Nights in white satin was awesome! They did do an album, which back in the 80s was cahnging hands for about 25 quid.

The lead singer got pulled by my landlady one time which is how he and me became mates. Wish I could remember his name now.
