HAPPENING
The Incredible String Band cancel all future touring plans amid rumours that they are about to split up completely. Sure enough, the following week there's an official announcement by the group members that says "We realised that we had learned a lot and achieved much in our years as The Incredibles but that stage is now over. Now is the time for all of us to start a new phase."
Alvin Lee announces a solo tour but once again denies that Ten Years After are splitting up.
Medicine Head, who had expended to a quintet the previous year to capitalise on their singles chart success, are now back down to the original duo of Jihn Fiddler and Peter Hope-Evans.
Genesis have to cancel a sell-out UK Tour when guitarist Steve Hackett severs a tendon in his hand.
Gentle Giant also cancel their tour, but this time it's because of unexpected success in America, which results in them extending their US date sheet.
