Terry Woods became a member of Sweeney's Men, who played English and American folk music, plus their own compositions.
The following summer, the couple went to Keele folk festival where Woods met up with Ashley Hutchings who was then still with Fairport Convention.
Johnny Moynihan, the Woods, Andy Irvine and Hutchings met at the Prince of Wales pub in Highgate.
Next day Moynihan said he would not be joining Steeleye due to personal differences with Terry Woods[citation needed].
Irvine also dropped out, resuming a solo career prior to meeting Dónal Lunny, with whom he later formed a duo.
[1]: 82–84 To replace them, Hutchings invited Bob and Carole Pegg, then the Dransfield brothers, and finally Tim Hart and Maddy Prior, who accepted.
[2] Gay Woods felt very neglected at this time, as Hart and Prior were still gigging as a duo, and she was the breadwinner after Sweeney's Men broke up in November.
[3] The Woodses went to Nottingham immediately after the recording, and received a phone call a week later to say they had been replaced by Martin Carthy.
The record label, Greenwich, collapsed after the band had toured with the group Greenslade[citation needed].
After recording these demo tapes, Gay Woods broke up with Terry Woods and formed a group, Auto Da Fe, with Trevor Knight and three Dutch musicians: Theo Wanders, Carel van Rijn and Wout Pennings.
