"Poinciana" (Song of the Tree) 'live' pre recorded performance with intro from drummer Rod Meacham was broadcast on Radio Luxembourg in 1963. The arrangement was from The Vanguards (Norway 1962).

The Eagles -- not to be confused with the 1970s California band of that name -- started out in Bristol, England at the end of the '50s, as The Crestas and The Strollers .

Terry Clarke † (lead guitar), Johnny Payne (rhythm guitar), Michael Brice (bass), and Rod Meacham † (drums) were all students at Connaught Road School, and they took the group name from the Eagle House Youth Club, to which they all belonged in 1961. The Eagles were amongst those instrumental groups at the very top of the UK Premier League.

Swedish kids also moved fast on the radio, for instance to Radio Luxemburg and Radio London. On ´Radio Luxembourg´ young ones could hear The Eagles - Poinciana (Radio Luxembourg 1963)

I remember Radio Luxemburg in the late fifties and early sixties, it was the only pop station you could get. It transmitted on 208 metres on the medium wave. It was difficult to receive, especially in the west of England where I lived. This made pop in those days more appreciated, due to the difficulty in getting good reception.
