Bassist Haste said, “The group were a seven piece soul outfit formed by myself and Chittock, that came mainly from The Smoke Stacked Blues Band. We did a charity gig with another local band Natures Own on 23 December 1967 and sold out St Matthew Baths Hall; Cream performed a few weeks after and they couldn’t manage that.” We last see the band in early 1969 before members are next seen twitching in Ornithology in the early seventies.
