The Elastic Band rose phoenix-like from the ashes of The Silverstone Set. As mentioned elsewhere, the night we
played support for The Jimi Hendrix Experience in Manchester was a life changing moment for myself and Ted Yeadon.
In May 1967, The Silverstone Set were booked for a tour of Portugal but due to the fact that the band had already
split, this effectively provided The Elastic Band's debut. Whatever was lacking in rehearsals was certainly
camouflaged by enthusiasm. We were finally on our way. Everything stepped up a level. We were gigging constantly
all over the UK, TV appearances and a record deal! There is much archive material from this period - enjoy.
