In December 1968 , Eclection supported The Beach Boys on a 10-day tour , and afterwards they continued to tour clubs . Mike Rosen left the band in March 1969 , and the band recruited guitarist Gary Boyle , previously a member of The Brian Auger Trinity , and vibraphone player John " Poli " Palmer of Blossom Toes . However , Boyle left again in June to rejoin Auger . The band continued as a five-piece and performed ( along with Bob Dylan and The Who ) at the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1969 , but Hultgreen then decided to leave . Lucas , Conway , Palmer and Henderson continued to tour for several months , finally agreeing to split up in December 1969 when Palmer decided to join Family . Conway said : " We just decided , eventually , that we were n't really going anywhere . Not where we wanted to go , anyway . " Jac Holzman stated : " I loved that group . They were a fascinating group , a wonderful band , and I thought the records were wonderful . I think our mistake was not bringing them to the States , because they really needed to get out of England . There was too much other stuff competing in England , and in the States , we might have had an easier time . I do n't know why we did n't bring 'em . I think , had we got 'em the right venues and gotten them some help with their show , it would have worked . " After Eclection split up , Lucas and Conway formed Fotheringay with Lucas ' girlfriend ( and later wife ) Sandy Denny , formerly of Fairport Convention . Lucas and Denny later both rejoined Fairport Convention for a period ; Sandy Denny died in 1978 , and Trevor Lucas in 1989 . Gerry Conway continued a prolific career as a drummer , with Cat Stevens , Steeleye Span , Fairport Convention , Jethro Tull and others
