I'm playing some music by this band on tomorrow's show - does anyone know if they still exist?

Ay - but they are not in the list of performers - which makes me think they don't exist any more.

Nothing on the web since 2005.

There is a forum there, and if you ask someone will know for certain

Hi Dave

I loved this band - saw them a few times but don't know if they are still around - a good reminder to get their CDs out - though they always came across better live as with much folk music. I must admit I always thought they were better than the Peatbog Faeries who seemed much more popular.

Apparently defunct. Julie Fowlis who was a member, has gone on to greater things, that's for certain.

Yes it seems they are defunct. If anyone wants to hear what they sounded like then I play "New Day Dawning" on my programme - details posted shortly under "Thank Goodness It's Folk".
