Nay lad. They used to play with Pink Floyd in the early days of UFO and the international times and all that far out stuff and happenigns. Syd barrett wrote "Here I go", formerly known as "Boon Tune" for the purple gang as a follow up to granny takes a trip. Great song.

Anyway, Joe Beard will be participating in a web chat on Neptune Pink Floyd in a few weeks. You can win a signed CD for submitting a question for him to answerr so discover them!

Underground.
