Just to let you know who this was...they were actually called "Hookfoot" a rock band who recorded for Dick James (DJM ). The line up was Caleb Quaye (guitar), Dave Glover (bass) Roger Pope (drums) and Ian Duck (harmonica and guitar). They all played with Elton John's band at one stage (check out "Tumbleweed Connection"). Caleb and Roger went on to play for Hall and Oates. They were session guys.

@EarlEdgbaston there is a comment on here from a year ago which said that Hookfoot did not perform on the record but other session musicians and that DJM forced Hookfoot who were signed to DJM to `perform` the song on Top of The Pops as Mr Bloe and make live appearances as Mr Bloe...

Dam!! Heres my story regarding this piece of music. For the last 15 years i have been trying to find out what its called. I very very rarely hear it on the radio and when i do i never hear who played it. :-(

But today i heard it again after about 3 years and THIS TIME i heard who played it :-) Which brings me to here LOL!!!

Now i can die happy LOL!! :-) Its up there with "Have you ever seen the rain" by CCR.

Thissong reminds me of getting stoned and listening to a whole load of music with my old friends way back in the 80's.

The music has stayed with me..

This is also one of my favourite tunes, but there's a difference between the vinyl version and the CD version. This is, I am presuming, taken from a CD and the intro has been cut short. There should be 8 claps before the piano comes in, but the first five appear to be missing and the piano comes in after three. I have both the vinyl and CD versions and my CD copy is the same as this one. Still a superb tune though.
