Mark 'Hamilton' mix up with Jo Hamilton from The Rainbow Chasers there I'm afraid.

Another of Ashley's bands and of course the one that Mark HUTCHINSON has recently left, to focus on his recording studio, Joe Topping taking over from Mark and now being the newest Rainbow Chaser.

He's a busy chap that Ashley isn't he?

I think you'll find that the five people I named above ARE the Lark Rise Band actually Surrey Singer. This is from Ashley's own site:

Ashley will be taking the music of "Lark Rise" on to the road in the New Year and the spring, when BBCtv screens a 10-part series based on the Lark Rise to Candleford book. Obviously, this will raise the country's awareness of Lark Rise and a new album of music, together with more performances including Folk festivals, will certainly follow. The five piece band consists of Ashley, Judy Dunlop, Simon Care, Ruth Angell and Mark Hutchinson and they will be presenting the music from the much loved National Theatre plays based on the novels by Flora Thompson.

Meanwhile, the "Lark Rise to Candleford" album is now available on CD. One of Ashley's most memorable albums, it has been unavailable for a number of years and there has always been considerable interest in the album and a possible CD issue. Ashley has finally managed to achieve this with the help of Talking Elephant Records and the CD can now be obtained direct at gigs or via Talking Elephant's website
