I also like Marmalade. Reflections of my life is the best. I met them a couple years ago, nice guys! Wanted to borrow a bass off me but didn't have it at the time.

Really?

I think there is only one original member left now.

The Singer "Dean Ford" moved to America around 1974...

The guitarist "Junior Cambell" became very wealthy, as he composed the theme music to "Thomas the tank engine".......

Great Scottish group....
