 The group emerged from a soul/blues band called 'The Five Proud Walkers'.After supporting Pink Floyd on tour, they were inspired to change their approach and become a more psychedelic outfit.The band consolidated as Richard Hudson on drums, John Ford on bass, Colin Forster on lead guitar, Jimmy Horrocks (Horovitz) on organ and flute (who left early in the band's history), and Dave Terry on vocals and harmonica.
