I had a similiar experience to Vic, on this particular occasion I was doing a support for them, this was unusual as they did not like having support acts, we had a long conversation between the break , and Peggy said that there seemed to be a lot of people writing good songs in America, but no one doing so in the UK, I mentioned a few names such as Bill Caddick JezLowe PeterBond, they had not heard of them.
Afterwards they said to the organiser that all though the support act was good , that next time they would rather do the concert without a support act, this was how they isolated them selves they did not go to many clubs other than their own, and they did not see any other performers because they wanted to do the show on their own.
the concert that they did was very good
