The Albion Band has always been Ashley's project, but with this one he's said himself he has no involvement. "The youngsters don't need me and are building something new themselves."

I don't deny his right to do what he likes with the band. I'm sure the band members - Blair in particular - regard it as a privilege to carry that name. They're entitled to call themselves the Albion Band, but without Hutchings does that actually mean anything?

None of which has anything to do with how good they are. They're clearly talented musicians and the band deserves respect in its own right.
