They formed one night after meeting and singing together at an Edinburgh folk club. They recorded on album that I know about: "Sampler" on Jim Maclean's Nevis label (it was produced by Jimmie Macgregor). Did they record anything else? |

Don't remember any details but I do know where the original tape is. If anyone is interested, I can check before giving details. I think the Withy did a couple of tracks on a sampler but no idea which. Eddie |

This was the club that Lesley was most associated with latterly, as well as the Loanhead Guitar club. Lesley was a prolific songwriter, and several of her songs are regularly sung by club members. She died in October 2009. |
