A short lived Nottingham group coming together at the beginning of 1970 and playing a hard blues rock style sounding not dissimilar to the Edgar Broughton Band and their ilk.

A track has survived from a recording session circa February 1971 which ended up on a, now, lost acetate disc.

Mick Donegan – Bass & Vocals
Dave (The Slave) Rawson – Drums
Adrian Armstrong (Lebbo) – Lead Guitar

Adrian, Mick and Dave formed in 1970 and came under the management of Richard Clarke who ran a newsagents business in Mapperley, Nottingham. Richard had been a guitarist in a Liverpool beat group called The Crescents in the sixties. They played Nottingham and when they came to an end he moved here.

Richard sold his business and he and the band, deciding to shake off local group apathy, headed for the south west. Living out of the back of a transit van they secured gigs and settled in to a life on the road.

They played mainly in Bristol and the South West in the autumn of 1970. A gig was arranged at Strode Theatre, Somerset.

The Strode Theatre gig wasn’t attended as well as they hoped and this hastened their move to London. Here gigs were more plentiful and the band played the clubs. They still found time to come back to Nottingham to play gigs and were billed as “knocking London for six”.

The gig is noted in the “Boat Club Book” 1970 – 27th December – Nottingham Boat Club.

While in London in 1971 they recorded at a recording studio in Soho with plans the release a single. An acetate was made but no single ever appeared.

After six months the lads decided that the life on the road, gigging and sleeping in the back of a van wasn’t what they wanted at that particular time and they decided to head back to Nottingham. Adrian Armstrong would later join Barracuda and then form Autumn Design with Dave Proctor.
