SnootyFox likes 'Meet Me On the Corner', which was always on the pub juke box back in mid-70's
Personally I liked their 'Lady Eleanor' as a harder / melodic sound, similar to what Led Zeppelin was doing at the time
As some on here will know, I provide cleaning & sanitation programs for the processed food & brewery industry, and I was visiting one of my craft brewery customers in Toronto 7-8 years ago. The owner wanted to introduce me to their new Head Brewer, who was an English guy maybe 10 years older than myself. I asked the new brewer if he had gone to Herriot Watt brewing school in Edinburgh before leaving UK, and he told me he was a musician by trade, but loved beer, took some courses and now he was looking to make a second career as a Brewmaster
As a fan of British music from 60's & 70's, I asked if he played in any band I may have head of and he told me he was the lead guitarist from Lindisfarne!
He and I developed a great relationship personally & professionally over the next 5-6 years and over a few beers would tell me some great stories about being on Top of the pops, going on tour, the festivals in mid-70's and the other bands / rock stars they met and worked with.
His name was Simon Cowe and unfortunately he died a few years ago from complications after a nasty fall, but I loved hearing about the British music scene from someone who was there participating in all the excesses
