They do not appear to have a web site, although some of their albums are available elsewhere from another company.
I don't really know anything about them but the choice of material seems a little light weight and dated. I'd imagine that they would appeal more to the touristy end of the market. |

Check out the track lists. You know one or two or the songs aren't really bad. I can remember them from years gone by. Even now, the odd one could be used as a filler on album or at a gig but to record four CDs with them?
However, if people are buying the CDs(probably tourists), good luck to them. My original comments still stand, though.

In the Steam Jenny recording of 'What you meant to me' there is a line that goes
"Not until the heart's defence is down, not until "something something" comes round.
Can anyone tell me what the "something something" is?
The song reminds me so much of my late daughter. |

Not until the heart defence is down
Not until some old Come All Ye comes round
from "First Leaves of Autumn"?

I've got a couple of their early albums. Haven't seen them for years but they used to do a very pleasant show.
There is nothing wrong with people working to a tourist market - I do it myself! It's a broad church! |

Never heard them, however the website is dreadful. Mostly out of focus photos and very badly set out, they would be better without a website than this.
The Slosh and Disco WOW. I bet they even play 'Alice who the ........ is Alice'. OH NO !!! Please not 'The Birdie Dance' also.
The bar counter would be an appealing place for me on such a night.

Boula2 is right. The webshite is dreadful. Fin demonstrates the same grasp of spelling and use/ misuse of apostrophe as whoever wrote the content of the shite.
You only have to look at the pics to know how dire their show is likely to be. |
