John Thornton still joins John Bartlett and Pete Luscombe for mumming at Christmas time to raise money for charity.

He now plays bass guitar with a jazz trio or quartet.

Aah see that Pete Luscombe has added a bit here - That's Canny!!

If anyone is interested Brian Ingham spent what wee birra time he had left putting a lot of his stunning songs on record and it's being sold with aall the proceeds gannin' te cancer charities.

If anyone would like a copy of Brian's CD (or for that matter the wunnerful "Flickering Light" by Ramskyte) get in touch with the band at [e-mail]

Gan on!! Ye Knaa It Meks Sense

Glad you will be at Sidmouth, Pete. Look forward to sharing a few beers with you. I'm only there for the first part of the week but Jon is there all week.

Hi All,
       Sorry to say, but Ramskyte are effectively defunct since (although not 100% because of) Brian's demise. John Bartlett & I are now performing as a duo called 'Wholehearted' - at Folk Clubs in the South only so far, but we hope to get a bit further afield next year.
   See some of you at Sidmouth/Broadstairs/Tenterden I hope.
                           Pete Luscombe.

It was Sweeps Festival. Of course I was drink taken. I thought I made that point.

So far as I'm aware they haven't done any gigs since sometime before Brian died. As to what happens now that is an unknown at present but I'll make Peter, John & John aware that folk are asking and hopefully they'll subsequently post something here. There have only ever been 4 of them (not 5 - ? were you seeing double then?)

As far as I know they are still singing although I haven't seen them since Brian Inghams funeral.

I come across Pete Luscombe from time to time and very occasionaly see John Bartlet. I am hoping that they will both be at Tenterden later this   year.

Seeing the Jinx's Stack thread reminded me of Ramskyte. Are they still singing? Saw them at Rochester Sweeps Fest a few years back and the 5-piece harmony (I'm sure it was 5 then although I see on some old websites they are stated to be four, but I had been drinking) wall of sound was surely fun.
