From: evansakes We've just added to our MySpace site an interesting, never previously released (and rather good) version of 2003 vintage Plainsong live in the studio playing their version of Andy's wonderful song "Raider". MySpace http://www.myspace.com/twickfolk The line-up you hear is Iain Matthews, Andy Roberts, Julian Dawson and Mark Griffiths. The song was originally released on Plainsong's legendary "In Search of Amelia Earhart" album back in 1972 (1973?) and was also the one the original band played live on the BBC's The Old Grey Whistle Test. |
