Their repertoire consisted of what was described as “a ghastly noise masquerading as Who songs.” That was a description Dave Sharp also echoed from his Manchester home in 2007. ‘We were inspired I guess by Slade, Be-Bop Deluxe and a bit of Genesis.’ Although in a 1997 interview Nigel was a bit more dewy eyed, ‘We used to play Who and Zeppelin covers, very well I might add’ – Source Link2Wales website
