Killing Floor were picked up on by ex-Radio Caroline DJ John Edward.

Edward booked the band for Dunstable's California Ballroom and so gave Killing Floor support slots to the likes of Ten Years After , Jethro Tull, Chicken Shack, The Herd, The Casuals and Junior Walker And The All Stars amongst others.
