It is a popular music group I gather.

Something like that...
Here you go, Peter...a brief tutorial:

During a tense meeting where Jeanine's idea for new stage costumes based on astrological signs is rejected, Nigel suggests the band reinstate the Stonehenge set and scribbles out a diagram of Stonehenge on a napkin. Ian agrees he will follow the band's direction to the letter; unfortunately he does not check the diagram properly and presented with an 18-inch (46 cm) model, made exactly as indicated on the original plan by Tufnel (a restaurant napkin with 18" instead of 18' written on it). The band are surprised when the tiny Stonehenge appears in the show, as it is smaller than the two dwarves who arrive on stage to dance around it, and it seems ridiculous to the concert audience who laugh at the band. St. Hubbins laments during the gig debrief, "I think that the problem may have been... that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed... by a dwarf." Black Sabbath's tour for 1983's Born Again album featured massive Stonehenge sets that barely fit on the stages the band played.[2] (Sabbath's management had ordered the set measurements in feet, but the manufacturers accidentally built the set using metres).[3] The film may have inspired the real-life band, as the Stonehenge sequence appeared in a 1982 20-minute demo of the film.
