British blues band active for less than a year in the late 1960s.

The band was formed in 1968 when two blues musicians from Bristol, Gwyn Mathias (guitar) and Chris Whiting (drums) moved to London and joined with Del Watkins (guitar) and John Dover (bass). After several singers, their only eponymous album was recorded with Roger Cairns on vocals and Chris Whiting had been replaced on drums by Keith Whiting (no relation). The group disbanded in early 1969.

Their music was a successful blend of originals and covers of compositions by blues kings like Otis Spann and B.B. King. The originals were made up of progressive heavy blues rock typical of the time, with elements of psychedelia.
