Unusual and ambitious musical line up which
extended beyond the typical guitar based line ups
of the day. Repertoire included own material ("Festival",
"Song for Gerald", "The Foam
Rubber Mattress"), works by Blodwyn Pig
and obscure Welsh hippies The Neutrons as well as
the first bit of Genesis' "Supper's
Ready"
Rehearsed above an old
stable/garage up near the Bingley Arms. The cello
was dropped from a great height by accident and
complex orchestrations were subsequently
abandoned. Moved to the Birkby Chateau Studio
Complex in Thorner and were later arrested
following a complaint by the Bishop of Leeds
Made one public performance, in
the Summer of 1975 at the Village Hall in East
Keswick to public acclaim ("The Gentle Giant
of Wetherby!") but split soon afterwards
