 In their search for more work and a steady income, Focus was chosen to play as part of the pit band for the Dutch production of the rock musical "Hair" produced by Welsh actor Victor Spinetti.They were invited to audition at the Victoria Ballroom, London after Dutch lyricist Lennaert Nijgh suggested them to Del Newman, the musical's director.Cast member Robin Lent claimed the production was suffering and Focus, taking part only for the money, "were also pretty rusty ... but this changed and everybody got into it".
