Isn't it tantalising when somebody you haven't seen or heard of in 36 years suddenly pops up on an internet forum - not unlike this one, in fact - and then disappears again into the cyber-ether? Imagine what it would be like if two of them did it, one after the other.... Jack and Marie - you still out there? See my posts before the one above. John Kelly.

Years ago I did an MC spot at the MSG. The boys plus the Grehan sisters was the line up.. Seem to remember Christy Moore turning up wanting to have a Newcastle brown drinking competition...Oh Dear....!

We booked them at the Star club in Birmingham a few times in the mid 70's when I helped to run it. Always a great act. I too have a signed copy of A Kiss in the early Morning. Have been trying to get a copy on cd without success. So glad they are still around.

I saw the Mathews Brothers at Poynton Folk Club during the late 70's and it was a pity they only made one record. Larry is traceable but try as I might can't find anything on Terry and neither cd's or LP's are easily searched for. If anyone comes up with anything?

I was summer staff at McTavishs Kitchens in Fort Willian in the late 70's They were two of the nicest , most unassuming people. They created a fantastic evening atmosphere at their shows. I am very pleased they seem to be well and still playing.
