The group was very good, and came to the USA every few years to buy new clothing, pick-up ideas for new songs to add to their repertoire, and just sight see. The last time I saw them, the last song in their set was "Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown". They did a good job of it, but that just ruined the performance for me. Haven't seen or heard of them since.
