As the card says, they were once a five piece band that slimmed down to a four piece. “A local Shirebrook guy sang for a trial but later managed us, Trevor Morgan, with one arm“. John E. Moon, Harold Butler and Chris Rimmer would later form “Care” in 1973. John later played in “Twice Removed” and “Twilight Victims” before becoming a recording engineer at the newly opened Radio Trent. John also recorded (bootlegged) many early seventies rock concerts like Sassafras, Allman Brothers, Santana, Roxy Music and then many concerts with Radio Trent including local groups. Bill Gascoigne left to join the Frank Turner Band who had just released an album on Fantasy called “Nice To Be On Your Show”.
