Hello,from a new Mudcatter!
I'm in search of individuals who have access to the
Attic Records release of Ivan Drever and or his band Knowe O'Deil...
I'm a big fan of Wolfstone....but given that these early
Attic releases are generally out of print....they're rather
hard to come by!
Please contact me at:[e-mail]
Many thanks in advance,
Gary Diamond, Denver, CO, USA

A dealer called Still Records after All These Years is advertising 2 albums by The Knowe O'Deil Band: "Orcadia" (1986), and "The Viking's Bride" (1987).

That's according to his catalog which you can view as a .pdf file here - but I notice those records aren't listed in his searchable database here. Maybe the information isn't up to date.

Ivan's name was being bandied for Runrig when Donny Munroe left but that must be 5 years ago now. Bruse Guthrie got the job so, apart from for useless information, not a lot of help really:-( Not heard much of him since but good luck in your quest. I always likes Ivan and the Knowe O'Deil when they were on at our club.

Cheers
