The band started in 1970 playing the Northern club circuit & quickly went on to play some major venues in London, where they were spotted by Ben Findon who signed them to RCA records.
In the same “stable”, were The Dooleys, Billy Ocean & later, the Nolans.
Their first single, “Slow Down” reached the top of the charts in Scandinavia, Holland, Belgium & Germany but failed to chart in the UK probably due to lack of plays on Radio One at the time, who seemed to have the monopoly on whether a record would be listed or not.
There were numerous TV appearances on programmes like “Lift Off” and other pop shows of the time, whereas in Europe, the band did “Top Pop” the Dutch chart show nearly every week for about 2 months appearing with artistes as varied as “ELO” “Pete Wingfield” “Sweet” “The Chanter Sisters” “Hello” & “Thin Lizzie”.
The band’s subsequent singles reached high positions once again in Europe, but still failed to reach any position in the UK charts again.
After numerous successful tours of Scandinavia playing alongside “Sweet” “Darts” “Thin Lizzie” etc the band finally gave up trying to get that elusive hit in the UK & finally disbanded in 1976 leaving 5 singles and one album to their credit
Lead singer “Hendy” sadly passed away March 2013 after contracting lung cancer.

I loved this band in the 70s. I have the 7" singles and the 12" album and now I have some downloaded from itunes which I still play in the car.

Good God, at the time I did not know of this band, as a very young teenager, but would have loved them, for sure; 200 out of 10...;)

Jeg har været “DJ pauseklovn” for denne velspillende og sympatiske gruppe....

Cool nok.
De var tilsyneladende en rigtig "danskergruppe" - meget populære på Tipparaden/Top 20, hvorimod populariteten i udlandet forekommer at have været mere behersket.
Der er heller ikke så meget materiale om dem online, sammenlignet med Mud, Pilot og hvad de andre ellers hed.
