UK doo-wop revivalist band, formed mid-'70s. Original lineup: Bob Fish (ex-Mickey Jupp band), Rita Ray, Griff Fender (Ian Collier), Den Hegarty, all vocals; Hammy Howell, piano; George Currie, guitar; Iain 'Thump' Thomson, bass; Horatio Hornblower (Nigel Trubridge), sax; John Dummer, drums (Thomson and Dummer from John Dummer Blues Band). Patronage of Radio London disc jockey Charlie Gillett secured a deal with the Magnet label; the live act helped boost an eponymous album to no. 9 late '77. Bass/leader Hegarty dominated the colorful live act, a cunning mix of revival covers and original tunes. Medley 'Daddy Cool/'The Girl Can't Help It' no. 6 '77 followed by no. 2 entries: covers of the Cardinals' 'Come Back My Love', the Ad-Libs' 'Boy from New York City' and 'It's Raining'. After a dip with the downtempo 'Don't Let It Fade Away', they partied back to the top 10 with 'Get It' and Gene Chandler's 'Duke of Earl', both '79.
