Saw these guys in Coventry at Lanch Poly a few times, and one night at the Climax, great band, and Dai was a very tasty guitarist, whole band were great and nice guys
Never guessed they were still going. As a student in Aber the early 70s I have a vague recollection of travelling to LAmpeter to see this new band...Sassafras. All of us are much older now...but the music is still great!
The best band to come out of wales, I used to share a pint or lots with this lot around Burton. We once had a mad week-end in the Bus at Burton on Friday the Bedford on Saturday... cannot remember too much about only the gun fight around Bedford nearly... very nearly got locked up as I recall. I hope this get's to you all thanks for the memmories, how about playing Burton again?

Saw Saasafras in a Halifax Club in 1973 /4 Can't remember the name. Great band. Should have been bigger and more widely appreciated.

Terry now lives in Spain.
Had a stroke a few years ago, but is now recovering.
IMHO, Terry was on a par with Freddie Mercury as a frontman.
