Subject: RE: Minor Birds from Warrington
My kid sister was the female folk singer and the Gibson Hummingbird Guitarist in the group. Check out Grey October and Parting Glass to hear how sweet her voice is. She puts Mary Hopkins to shame.

They basically made 1 outstanding album and appeared on local radio to promote it and sadly although they were the best folk group around if not in the country, they split up and moved on to new none musical ventures. Each successful in their own unique none musical fields.

Sadly the album was never put onto CD either and most of the existing copies are so well played that they have scratches on them so can't be converted to CD.

I feel that it was a shame that they didn't make far more albums and become the Number 1 Folk Group in the Country as they were by far the best who have ever performed. It is certainly a shame that their début album wasn't put onto CD.
