"As to memories and memorabilia, that is a tough one. Long time passing, and it was the sixties you know ! Like the man said, if you remember... In fact, since getting together digitally a few years back, I have had correspondence with Steve who genuinely asked me if I could fill in some of the blanks in his memory of several years spent in Europe.

So much stuff has got lost over the years, from my hands, at least and although I recall the club (Friars) I can think of nowhere to look for material. I do remember finding some date sheets online which brought back a few bad memories (such as gigging twice with Black Sabbath).

I have to admit that it is strange to me the recent interest in that period because it was not so glamorous to live through it, at the centre of the whirlwind (I did eight plus years in the business in London with time in jazz before that). Even here in Poland there is a great following for British rock of the period, and it never ceases to amaze me to see whole sections in CD racks here devoted to such fleeting moments as Blodwyn Pig or Climax Blues Band.

Anyway, as a historian myself, albeit of business, I am all in favour of recording and understanding the past, so all power to you and best regards to Aylesbury. Its been a while..."

      What can I say - Kurt is in North Carolina, painting, I am in Poland, Steve Hayton, guitarist supreme very sadly died about 18 months ago; but at least he made    the sixties dream - he was living for years on Tobago with a dusky maiden and a hammock with a view of the ocean. Moe Armstrong the 'vocalist', front man, turned out to be genuinely crazy and not just acting or tripping. But miraculously he got it together and is now a highly respected trainer of people who look after          other schizophrenics. He even had a presidential medal from Clinton. Drummer Cliff Carrison is lost but not reported deceased, as is the second guitarist Gary Holderman.  Pianist Pete Arnesen has returned to his Austrian roots and now teaches Jazz and Rock at the esteemed Mozarteum in Salzburg, where, in fact, he studied.
