As a child my Dad had this tape and we would listen to it so often together, even after more than 30 years I remember it like yesterday. Please do upload any other tracks that you have from it, I would truly love to hear them again! Thank you for uploading this.

This is really great. I bought the tape after a live performance of the band in Groningen (the Netherlands) Played it a lot on my tapedeck, but lost it somehow/somewhere/sometime sadly enough. Now still a treat to my ears. The song never left my musical memory. What happened to the band? Many thanks for this music!

The lineup changed a few times over the years, the constants being Alan Burke and Tim Potts. There's been a few reunions for special occasions. This original lineup last played a full concert in 2010, at the Bath Folk Festival. Alan Burke has had a long solo career and now lives in Dublin. There was Facebook page for many years offering free streaming of old gigs, and a free download of this album.
