His famous morris dance to Norwich took place during Lent, when the company lay idle; not until the hastily added epilogue to Nine Days' Wonder (his account of the stunt) does he refer to his plan to return to individual performances.

After criticising the Telegraph's 'determination to be Anglo-Saxon', Marx continues: > Mother Nature has inscribed [Levy's] origins in the clearest possible way > right in the middle of his face. The nose of the mysterious stranger of > Slawkenbergius who had got the finest nose from the promontory of noses was > just a nine–days' wonder in Strasbourg, whereas Levy's nose provides > conversation throughout the year in the City of London ... Indeed the great > skill of Levy's nose consists in its ability to titillate with a rotten > smell, to sniff it out a hundred miles away and to attract it. Thus Levy's > nose serves the Daily Telegraph as Elephant's trunk, antenna, lighthouse and > telegraph. Levy was heavily involved in the production of the Daily Telegraph.

Around this time he was given the nickname "Irish" by fellow band members to identify him from two other Johns playing in the same band, this stuck with him throughout his career in the UK. Towards the end of the decade , he joined Krautrock band Nine Days Wonder, performing in clubs across Europe and recording his first album with them. In 1972, Earle left Germany and moved to England to further his career. After a spell with progressive rock band Gnidrolog, there was a lack of musical work so he took a job in a record packing house distributing albums, including Gnidrolog's. While attending various auditions and jam sessions, he met Ian Dury by chance in the Hope and Anchor, Islington, which led to him becoming a member of his backing band Kilburn and the High Roads.
