"The original band supported Bill Hayley & His Comets in 1979. We did multiple supports to latter day artists on the local and northern club circuit, Nashville Teens, Screaming Lord Sutch, etc. In 1978 we were a popular band at Cambridge May Balls. We also played USAF bases and a regular at The Pitt Club, Cambridge although our original break at the Great Northern Hotel a Cambridge pub. We also played many prestigious private parties for the Oxbridge crowd, when a regular team up with a touch of class disco - Rupert soames ( son of lord soames politician) was booked. The band were known for their energy, enthusiasm and pure fun together with their spectacular sound and light show" Flash Dave 29/04/2019
