A group of young musos who supposedly were well thought of by Robert Stigwood and the Bee Gees. Signed to the Festival they released a couple of singles written by their guitarist Colin Stead, ''Pinky Lamour / Goodbye, Goodbye'' (also released in NZ) and ''Brass Bird / Dandylion Wine'' in 1968. They did the obligatory thing for Australian bands of the time who wanted to make it in the UK and set off on a cruise ship, playing their way to England. Unfortunately, when they got there Mr Stigwood seemed to have little time for them, and they fell apart. A couple of members supposedly went on to play with a band in England called the Red Squares, but whether this is the same UK band that made their way to Denmark I don’t know. Colin Stead would later turn up in Buffalo. Stead died in 2024.
