Budd said as a musician it was his “dream” to appear on Top of The Pops, but the studio “was not as large as what we thought”.
Miles remembered the show’s floor manager was not convinced the studio would take the weight of the band’s prop tractor.
He also sabotaged a balloon drop on the programme.
“During a break, I crept into the studio and took hay from the bales and added it to the netting, so when the balloons fell so did the piles of hay,” he remembered.
“We did Top of The Pops, then I had to race them to Heathrow to get on a private plane to Exeter before 22:00, and then they had a car waiting to race them to their next gig at Torquay.”
Miles said Adge Cutler would have been “delighted” with the band’s success.
“We carried on and sang the songs that kept his name alive.
“It’s a great tune, there’s no doubt about that whatsoever,” added Budd.
