In May 1970, John Higgins joined his former band mate Paddy Glyn in Niagra. Gabriel also left the band to concentrate on his day job. A 16 year old Louis Walsh had now become the bands manager. This line up (Sean, Gerard & Joe) stayed in place until the band split in February 1973. They released one single (Railroad/Going Down Down Down) which got good reviews in the press, but sold poorly.
In March 1973 the band re appeared with a completely new line up. The new line up all from the east of Ireland had formerly been giging under the name of Freeway. They were Austin Smith (vocals), Derek Teeling (drums), Pat Savage (lead guitar) & Sean Creighton (bass). By June of ’73 they had trimmed back down to a trio, Austin & Sean leaving and with former London session musician Kevin Jennings coming in on bass & vocals. Kevin had worked with the likes of Deep purple, Wishbone Ash & Uriah Heep.
