I saw them a few times at The Refectory, Golders Green in 1963. As I remember they were much jazzier than other bands I heard at the time.

^I've also read about Duffy Power in "Dazzling Stranger", a book about Bert Jansch and the British folk and blues revival. Apparently, he started out as a rock'n'roll singer / teen idol, but got deeper to the roots of that stuff later on. Sounds very interesting. Don't know his stuff with the GBO.
