I was having a chat with a guy who mentioned the band "Hanky Park" he seemd to think that it was an indie group, I thought folk group!
Anyone remember them?

Both, folk1e! There was a folk duo called Hankie Park - ran a few nights around the Salford area. Not heard of them for ages. There is now an Indie band - with quite a sucessful single and album of the same name. They are from around these parts but apart from that I know little of them. Not seen any concerts advertised for ages. Hope this helps.
