Looks to be a good band. John Idan is perfect for filling Keith Relf's shoes...perhaps even a better singer (and plays bass too!). Ben King appears to be a very good guitarist, but he seems more of a hot-shot guitar teacher from the local guitar shop than someone to fill Clapton/Beck or Page's spot. Yes, he's doing all the parts right, but it just seems almost phoning it in. Uninspired & add the goofy faces & put on a collared shirt, at least! he dresses like a Jack Johnson/surfer wannabe : /
saw the Yardbirds/Zombies concert in Peterborough,last month. Was fantastic, wish Ben King would stop pulling stupid faces all the while, he looks in absolute agony, but he is a fab guitarist. Wish I could see the show again, was so good.

John Idan sounds like Keith Relf AND Jeff Beck too! This man is a cloned Yardbird. Amazing.
