Shaking Stevens and the Sunsets were quite a reputable rock and roll outfit before Shakey became grannie fodder. They played at the Hope and Anchor, Islington a few times. The H&A was pub rock nirvana, Nick Lowe through to the inimitable Jessie Hector and the Hammersmith Gorillas. Keep it Mono!

As a callow youth I used to work with a geezer who reckoned he used to be in Ten Years After till they went 'too heavy' and he split.
