Okay...I'm starting. What are your thoughts on those (non-original members) who have joined over the years. Let's start with the latest, Patsy Watchorn. A great addition in my opino...anyone?

People have bobbed in and out of the line up over the years. the great Tommy Dempsey was with them for one tour.

I think you can take it as read that there aren't going to be any duds. I suppose what with people getting ill and worse, its bound to happen.

Perhaps they have found a way which means the group can go on forever. Let's hope so.

Almost as bad as Fairport Convention - Where there's a "Name" ther's money to be made!

But not as bad as the Battlefield Band, no original members left at all, this surely must qualify as a different band now .

Just like my old guitar - had it fifty years. Replaced the neck four times and the body twice, but it still plays as good as the day I bought it.

Eric, Alan Reid was a founder member of Battlefield and he's still with the band.
