I like them better om youtube than I did when they were around. Particularly like their version of Lowlands.

At the time they struck me as a bit weird - all those instruments...,
and you never really felt they could play any of them.
Then there was the leather braces that looked suspiciously like bondage gear,,,, only you parents never suspected anything. my parents even laughed at 'the jokes'.

There was this first album with Paddy Bell that |I liked. Particularly The Verdant Braes of Skreen. Some bits of it sounded a bit Jimmy Shand=ish.

I suspect they lived in their little bit of history and did as best as they could, like we all do.
