Wow that was quick, 15 mins approx and two replies.
I never realised that Jim Boyes was in Swan Arcade I don't remember who they were, just what a good sound they made. They were an unacompanied harmony trio singing mostly trad songs in the U.K. in the seventies. I remember two blokes (one with only one arm) he must have been the one who wasn't Jim Boyes, and a girl, they had real drive and passion for their singing. I remember once when visiting London going to a club to see them (they were from 'up north' like me), and a lot of people had turned out to see them. ie Packie Burn, Vin Garbut, June Tabor, I think she was a resident, and a Belgium group called Rum who were on their way to Cambridge Festival.
What a night. Vin Garbut and Packie Burn having a whistle jam in the bar during the interval, whilst upstairs they cleared the floor and had a mini ceilidh.
ah those were the days.
Cheers Les
