Nope, Tracer, the lead vocal was female, at least on some of the songs...

Sounds like it could be The Spinners (Liverpool) to me.

Well, it's actually hard to believe that that's not it, Thosp! All I can imagine is that it was that originally, but that someone taped over it with something else, so I guess my only hope is to look for recordings of the individual songs, and hope that eventually I find the versions that were on the tape. Thanks for pointing out Gra' for me, though... I love discovering new bands I can enjoy!

Not a clue as to how old... I'm pretty sure it was at least five or six years old when I got it some ten years ago, though.

Well, the song you were wondering about is  Dido, Bendigo  but I don't recall the group.

CCat, do you have any idea how old the tape would be? That might help finding more out about this group...

I inherited a very beat up old bootleg tape from a friend, which was simply labeled "MorningStar". It was in horrible shape, and after I played it many times myself, the music can barely be distinguished any more. I want to replace it if I can, and possibly find more music by these people, but the only reference I've found to a band by that name is a christian group, whereas the material *I* have is all celto-british folk. Perhaps it's just the name of an album by some other band. Can anyone help me with this?
Some of the songs included are:
The Darby Ram, Do Ye Ken John Deal, and a great song about hounds, the name of which I have no clue, but the chorus goes

There was dyed ol' bendigo, gentry she was there-oh, troubler, we never looked behind him,
and there was countess, rover, bonnie lass and jover, these were the hounds that could find 'im...

Help!
