38yrs earlier, I would've been watching The Groundhogs in, what is now a Weatherpersons, The Fox on the Hill (same name though). just a half mile or so away from the Half Moon (a pub where I've been lucky enough to catch a load of bands, including the excellent Chicken Shack with Stan the Man).
Thanks for the video..........Love his Eagle comic t-shirt!...Tony McPhee doesn't look any different all these years later (a bit like Cliff, huh?).
I was introduced to the groundhogs and budgie at the same time when my older brother brought home a box of used records containing groundhogs black diamond and budgies impeckable. both albums are now in my digital collection as well as my vinyl.
You didn't happen to know Buddy at the Stereo Stop in New Rochelle, NY? Those were his two favorites which he turned us onto. I remember the days of waiting on his phone calls on new releases arriving - many 2nd US releases of bands such as Priest, UFO, Scorpions... along with Budgie and the Groundhogs. Good old days
We woz there!!! - great rhythm section and Godfrey (Dads Army)on guitar (not my view) - a great night and a step back in time, for sure!!! McPhee is a legend
fantastico Tony!

Never saw them live, but I've still got the album "Split" on vinyl somewhere. Also loved a band called Budgie from that era.
