Drummer Jim Pryal recalls

Jim Pryal

"I lent the kit to Ted Duggan,(another great Coventry drummer) on one occasion as he had almost the exact same kit. His band Acorn did a great version of  Cream's 'Toad' and I think  Ted wanted to have the double kit that was just being made popular by Ginger Baker and Keith Moon. at the time.  He was playing with guitarist brother John in 'Acorn' at the time and Dek McConkey on bass I think. For a while they had Maggie Hall as a Go Go dancer. Good ol' Maggie. She's in Australia now. She was Phil Street's girlfriend for a long time). "
