Played on the same bill as them at Gorleston Floral Hall. It was '64 or '65 but can't recall the date.
ReplyDeletePlayed with them in March '66 at Buxton Pavillion. They got the best reaction from an audience of any band we gigged with, and we gigged with most of the 1960s top bands (not the Beatles or the Stones, unfortunately). And they were a very decent set of blokes. They wanted to hear our version of any of their songs we played (which was usually not something we ever did, when we were playing with a top band). Dick Taylor turned up when we were sound checking and asked if he could jam with us - which he did for nearly an hour before the gig.
