Zorn, Downes & Beer were really excellent in the early 80s. That was Bill Zorn, Paul Downes & Phil Beer. It was the version of the Arizona Smoke Revue you booked if you folk club was too small for the full 5 piece.

Faith, Folk & Anarchy (Martyn Joseph, Steve Knightley and Tom Robinson) was a relatively short lived project early this century. A superb blend of music. Most of the gigs were in 2002, but the "final" gig was in 2004. They produced just the one very good studio album (now deleted) and an absolutely stunning live CD (which is still available). I understand a short reunion set is planned for the Royal Albert Hall in a couple of weeks and perhaps a full concert in December.
