Thin On The Ground

The Indifferent Mistress
A very old gaelic poem found in the celtic miscellany [penguin] with melody added by Dave.
Mind Your Own Business
Lakes of Pontchartrain
From the playing of Paul Brady, traditional song about an irish soldier near New Orleans during the 1812 War by British v US.

Your musical influences
Our influences were the original country blues of people like Robert Johnson and Skip James...but also traditional folk music and the exciting interpretations which were happening around us...but also Hank Williams, Elvis pResley, The Rolling Stones, Ry Cooder.....What equipment do you use?
Yamaha acoustics...I gave Edna a slightly dodgy Ovation acoustic..and I played a very old and cheap VOX electric bass...we had no money so PA was very basic too...a secondhand H/H amp and a pair of WEM column speakers with Shure Unidyne mikes...which Ive still got...Anything else?
We knew little or nothing about management/bookings etc...but loved the music and the lifestyle...a wonderful time when every gig was an adventure and Eddi stopped the show everytime...READ MORE
