They're excellent! I have LPs - have had for ages - but want to stock up on CDs sometime. Sapper, tell your mate he's got good taste :-)

Best wishes,

Bente

They did a very good song about the dreaded Crawshays ,the industrialists of Merthyr...for the life of me I can't remember what it is called.
Wonderful band!

My grandfather was from the Merthyr Tydfil area. The Crawshays were indeed THE iron masters.
