We played about thirteen gigs at the Rocket. It felt like we were there so often we were practically the house band. At every gig there were more people, and we grew in confidence as we honed our sound.
In the autumn of 1977, Peter left the band. We had played a gig at the Rocket on September 11, and after the gig he told us it was his last. "Hey, chaps, I think I have a different calling. I'm, um, off to a kibbutz in Israel." "Really?" I asked him somewhat incredulously. "That's what you want to do?" "Yeah, Lol, that's the plan."
I was a little stunned. After all, we were just getting properly started. In retrospect it had been obvious the last few months that his heart wasn’t in it anymore. We wished him luck and looked around for another singer to replace him. It was frustrating, to say the least. We were starting to express our own ideas, finding our own raison d'être, and now we were in desperate need of a good front man to convey that to audiences who didn't know us at all.
