DINGLESPIKE

I have an older tape of a group called DINGLE SPIKE. It was recorded in London, I think in the seventies? It has a great song called "Home Be Bearna"(lyrics in DT), and another called "Barney Hare". Where are these guys? Still around? I'd love to find some more stuff by them.

Clifton, I have an LP from a group with that name at home. I'll look if your tape is just the same as this record. I never heard of this group after.

Dinglespike are a bunch of old gits who have been gigging around the Irish scene in London for years, especially the big venues like the Swan and the Archway. Johnny Feene (ex Horslips or some other 70's Irish rock outfit I think)was and maybe still is in their line-up. I am fairly sure they are still gigging around London.

My record (from 1984) is different from your tape, clifton. It has no other title than Dingle Spike and has been published by a private label (Spike Records).
