The band line-up will feature original members Reuben Archer (vocals), Laurence Archer (guitar) and Colin Bond (bass). Clive Edwards, formerly of Pat Travers, Wild Horses and UFO, will replace Eddie Parsons on drums as Eddie's whereabouts is unknown.

Reuben made the decision to reunite the band following the re-release of Hurricane Town and due to a keen interest from the industry for the band to return to play UK and international festivals. He says of the impending reunion:

“We’re really excited about getting together again. Our very first rehearsal proved that our chemistry as a band is still alive and kicking. We’re in the process of writing some new material so this is certainly an exciting venture for us!''


The Official Bootleg recored at Reading festival is being remastered and re-release later this year and the band are recording a brand new album!
