Mary met MIKE HURST (former SPRINGFIELD and record producer) at a social event, and at his suggestion joined a new band that he was putting together with MIKE deALBUQUERQUE (former E.L.O.) The band was called SUNDANCE, and in Marys defence it all seemed to start out well, it was to be a close harmony singing group, but they turned into a 'Pebble Mill TV lunchtime show, come cabaret, singing trio' !

The only record they released was on the BRONZE label called 'WHATS LOVE'....not one of her best songs. But again it was just wonderful to hear her voice, and see her regularly on the TV. And one of the bonuses of this project was that they did a great tour of Britain with DR. HOOK and they sounded much better live than they did on the record & Pebble Mill shows! And again it gave me the chance to travel !!

The set opened up with a great song' Lovin up a storm', and finished with' Golden Threads and Silver Needles'/'Never goin back' a superb version, also included were Those were the days (surprise surprise) Island of Dreams (old Springfields number) So sad, Whats love, Dreamlover & Cottonfields.

Unfortunately, it all ended on rather a sour note, Mary had explained to them before it all started that she did not want to return to the 'showbiz' roundabout of cabarets etc, and so she was sacked! there was plenty of newspaper coverage at the time and their record company Bronze said ''she was sacked because of disagreements and her inability to commit herself to planned arrangements''.

After Mary left they did try to continue and recorded a single called "Walk Right In" using a singer called Verity Haines. They also went on tour of the UK with a a lovely singer called "Catherine Howe" ( she had a big hit with a song called "Harry" )
