Aw, shame. I saw them in the 80's when they were doing the cabaret circuit. Smashing band.
Legend of Xanado is still one of my fave songs. Great to sing along to in the car. When I first saw them do it on TOTP I was totally thrilled. It seemed so dramatic! :-)

I had the pleasure of spending some time chatting to Dozy at a gig around 5 years ago.

Really nice guy who was happy to chat fondly about the glory days.

Top bloke....

I remember them, always being played on radio 1 , from 5-7 years old .
Used to get me wondering if any of the band members were omitted when introduced

Shame rip

I think a lot of people did. I think Dave Dee passed away about 5 years ago.

Weird rock n roll fact - Dave Dee was a copper before he was full time in music and attended the scene of the accident when Eddie Cochran died.

According to folklore, Eddie's guitar was recovered from the scene by Dave Dee and stored at the police station until collected by family reps. As a budding musician, you can picture Dave taking the opportunity to take a good look at it, maybe even playing a few riffs....
