BIOGRAPHY:

Five piece Edinburgh based band from the early 1970's featuring Bo'ness musicians Ian Johnston (drums), Gordon McKay (bass) and Dave Roberts (guitar / vocals). The other two members were Dave Valentine (vocals) & Stuart Caplan (keyboards). Previously known as Gallows Crook, the band split after a year of gigging around Scotland. McKay and Roberts went on to play 'resident band' in a couple of Edinburgh Clubs before McKay joined Mother Earth, whilst Roberts went on to form his own bands Normal Few and Out The Blue, before emigrating to Australia.
