Memories:
The Yogöts were more of a society than a band...a group of no hopers with a mission. They came...They saw...they conquered...then they split up and went their separate ways. The music flowed...the words flowed...often in different directions but sometimes together…for a fleeting moment harmony occurred and the song was sung.

Ian Gibbons was The Yogöts refined manager...the gigs were always ...shall we say...different...but successful!
