Developed out of Rogation Sunday / Acorn
Neil Richardson was in a band called Nak ed en with Loz Netto (later of Sniff and the Tears) on lead/ rhythm guitar and Brad (later of the Specials) on drums and Neil Richardson played bass. They practiced at the Umbrella. After they split, Neil joined with ex members of Acorn to form a commercial pop rock band - Drops of Brandy - mostly covers including 10cc's I'm Not in Love. I saw them at the Ryton Bridge Hotel. Although they were touring intensivly around the country at the time, I'd bump into either Neil or Ted in town and get an update while doing Hobo Mag.
