Saw these live early seventies Paddy. Best live act I've ever seen. (Not much help I know)

Steve

Hi Steve

Yes, I remember seeing them during that time as well, fantastic! Would be great to get some info about them and bring them over for a few dates (I am assuming JJ is in America)! Any info or contacts anyone may have about where JJ is would be useful!

Cheers

Stretching the point a bit, but given that Band of Angels Invitation is surely one of the seminal mod classics, then you'd have to include Mike D'Abo. Last I heard he lived in Gloucestershire.

And what a groooooovey record!!!!!!!

Viola Wills, pretty sure she lives in the UK.

Vi was over here ..in Brighton (sure you knew that !) but she had gone back to the US last I heard

Gene Woodbury, according to the owner of "Del Val" Records

Wow now that is not half bad. I'd love to meet Gene Woodbury in my local Tesco.
