Yes I would agree the band was better with James Gordon - however - even without him they are an excellent band and most enjoyable and profesional, and in my opinion well worth catching on this UK tour - and considering the concert is FREE - what can you loose?
The current trio consisting of Alex Sinclair (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Molly Kurvink (bass guitar, vocals) and Shelley Coopersmith (violin, mandolin, vocals).
James is currently playing and singing with Sandy Horne and as yet I haven't heard their offerings and as far as I am aware James is not touring internationally (due to the same reasons that he left Tamarack [as far as I am aware])
