Voodoo

This is a band called Voodoo (named after Hendrixs Voodoo Child ?) that I saw playing live upstairs at Ronnie scotts in London around early summer (May ) 1977. They were living at a squat either in Islington or Camden, London around that time and had rehearsal and recording equipment in a sound proof room in the basement If I remember correctly.

They did some really great tracks, were brilliant song writers and had excellent musicianship, but I think they disbanded. The guitarist / vocalist sounded like Jimi Hendrix ( I think he was Scottish and so was the drummer?) and had a transparent guitar with a silver hemp leaf on it.

Anyone know them or what happened to them or who they are?

The three tracks I have on the tape are called ( I think):
1.Come Together Jimi Hendrix sounding number
2.Green Packet amazing funky jazz rock instrumental
3. Kingdom of the Skies sounds like Thin Lizzy
Some of the lyrics of Come together are the following:
So you wanna mess around with me
you wanna play this beautiful game
You wanna tell me all the rules about freedom
But you dont want to talk about your shame
Get down, get with it, get down,
Get into this crazy vibration
Let the vibes go through your body
Im sure youll get them to move
Come together all you children
come together to get down now
I said, Come together i will give you freedom
come together to get down now
can you dig this vibration its running all over
I can t ..............................running for cover
I gotta walk down this road coz I cant find any other, theres no other
Got a little creation your about to discover
