Breezy, their reputation was national and they were the mechanism for getting Cornish Lads so well known. They aloso received commissions from the BBC too for vocal work. They were amongst the top 5 a cappella bands in the 90's and were even asked to stand in for CBS once in Essex and supported Lindisfarne, Show of Hands and Ralph McTell. They attended festivals in Ireland too alongside the Voice Squad etc etc etc etc etc. The trouble always was that no one is a prophet in their own land ... they were to good for Cornwall and Cornish kilted people. They could only get true recognition outside of the SW.
