I haven't heard of them since the 1970 Doncaster Folk Festival which they organised. Are they still on the Folk scene?

They changed the name to ' Foggy ' and went pop after their bit of TV exposure.

Danny is a well respected artist now, who did a tv series on watercolours (I think) and does painting cruises.
