Yes, great band. Or duo? I have only heard them on tape, but they are really good.

He's the fat one with a beard and pudding basin haircut.

The other fat one is Phil Beer. Hasn't had a haircut since the Boer War I think!!

It's possible that there may be a vid available for a darn sight less than the exhorbitant price that they are charging.... some friends of our video'd it when it was on West Country Carlton about 6 weeks ago.... we didn't know it was going to go mainstream Carlton then....

We could have a SOH Party if you like.... around Christmas....??? With one of the original cast members????

I did fall asleep. Missed the last 15 minutes. I doubt they would have showed the morris dancing on such a short extract anyway.

They did have a bit on, read Morticia's post!!!

Sad when you have to communicate anything of note with your husband via a chat site..... But I was right about him falling asleep!!!

I should like to register an official complaint - it's not right that two guys should keep so much talent between them, when a lot of us could do with just a fractional share of it.

They are superb, aren't they?

I read Kelv's post and promptly set the video to record it. Just for a change, the video recorded the whole programme including the credits at the end confirming that LTS's bratlet's father had been dancing with Albion Morris. Vocally, SoH's guests outshone them - Ralph McTell in particular was streets ahead...

I may be the only person underwhelmed by SoH. I have one of their CDs but find their voices very similar and their songs very "samey" despite the instrumental virtuosity. I watched the tv prog and felt the same. The extracts chosen didn't even show most of the instruments on stage being used either. I was expecting more, having heard 'Catters's opinions of them. However, I know when they went to Alderney recently Steve stayed on for a couple of extra days and played gratis with local musicians, so they're clearly OK guys and good musicians but just don't excite me. Shows I'm not a real folkie I suppose!
