Peel mentioned in the Disc & Music Echo, published on 3rd January 1970, seeing Galliard perform along with the Groundhogs at the Mothers Club in Birmingham. He also mentioned in the article, how he spent some evenings with Galliard, remembering some of the great records from the early 1950's like Frankie Laine's "Gandy Dancer's Ball".
After Peel's death in 2004, it was later found out that he had a couple of their albums in his Record Collection: G.
