For many years now they have lived and worked in Germany, where they are very popular, and Colin has his own radio programme. I attach a link to his web site, which is in German and English, here This was prompted by news of his latest CD, details on the site. |

Thats when I realised I preferred some entertainment to lectures. I recall how they sang their signature song to the same tune as Roddy MacCorley Its great to hear of them after 45 years, they and Alex C etc inspirational thanks Colin and thanks John mac |
