Yes - saw them last year with the Zombies in Reading . In Reading it can be difficult to separate the Zombies from the local population sometimes - not including OOF members of course.

Met them at Mecca Village ( Trowell services), on the M1 in 196?. Keith Relf was driving their van. Dusty, and Dionne Warwick were there also, I nearly missed a flight to Paris talking with them.  :D

They played quite a few gigs at a club in Catford very early 60s just after Clapton joined (63 I think) - used to go and see them regularly.  Dusty Springfield quite often used to "hang" around with them as did Long John Baldry.

Those were the days - drove a "souped up" Ford E93A sit up & beg Popular then (Leather seats and optional extra heater/demister!!)
