Good lord, the singer is on some serious drugs...

[Mardy]

The theme tune for Saxondale is a focus song isn't it?

[cortezuk]

They were touring last year I think - heard singer being interviewed on radio!

I want some of what his having

I doubt they would be that great now?

[ampersand]

saw them in 05 i think in edinburgh. were pretty decent

[sinhala]

I saw them last week in Tunbridge Wells with Wishbone Ash and they were excellent, but very much doubt they would be asked to do Glasto - unless someone arranges a Prog Day on one of the smaller stages ?

[pezzypops]

i'd definately see them if they played glasto.

they'd be good late night at avalon or somewhere.

OMG... that brings back some memories.

I saw this band play at my secondary school in Leiden ( Holland ) in the spring of 1969 when I was 13 and the headmistress ( due to retire that year ) thought they were a noisy lot and pulled the plug!!! Yes!! Literally, she pulled the plug!!!

Still one of the best bands to come from Holland. Currently Focus still tour with Thijs van Leer on keyboards etc ( who is classically trained ) but without the legendary guitarist Jan Akkerman ( often regarded as even better than Eric Clapton )

Other Dutch bands I'd like to see at Glasto??? Golden Earing, Gruppo Sportivo, but esp Herman Brood ... alas, he died a few years back, but check out

[grumpyhack]

Saw them last year at the Cambridge Rock Festival complete with Thijs van Leer and Pierre ven der Linden. Cracking.
