this song was a favourite of growing up in the 70's and seing and speaking to one of the group in York made it even better.

@john111257 i had aurora once on vinyl...not on this

[Pullisto]

@john111257 Thanks for that, checked it... its the exact same instrumentation as the Candlewick Green version, just the different group on vocals. Two bands must have been good freinds, given thats at least 2 songs they both did.

who wrote this one ...nice

@Pullisto was this an old jigsaw song too...from their album aurora borealis

Thanks for sharing this. I really liked it when I heard it on Radio Luxembourg. Fantastic, I still like it. A very strong melody and good performance

It's a shame no-one has their other Opportunity Knocks hit on Youtube yet -'Come with me', we have it on our record.
