I rediscovered this band's music recently via  Internet downloads. I loved  
their first and third albums in 1974 -  Nicely Out of Tune and Roll on Ruby 
and  
discovered their 1972 album  Fog on the Tyne yesterday.

There is a lot of harmonica throughout -  nicely done for this era. The  
music 
is somewhat traditional sounding  - more acoustic based w/good harmony  
singing as well as some amusing  songs about the music industry "Take Good 
Care  of  
Business".

I have no info on the harmonica player - perhaps those  of you in England  
are 
more familiar with this band, as they sure  have a lot of albums recorded  
since then. 

The music does not  sound dated and is a lot of fun.
