It is always a joy to see a group grow and progress; reaching out beyond previous efforts. It is even more lovely when the band is really good to begin with and just keeps getting better'. Catherine L. Tully, freelance journalist.

Lyrics
The Fisherman (Wally Page and Cristy Moore) This is the day the fisherman likes And so do I When the rain puts a shine on the chestnut spikes Hear the curlews cry The nightingale sings her best We'll drink a pint in hamiltons rest And the girl I love wore a muslin dress The fisherman dream of the sun in the west And so do I, and so do I Now i can see Since the girl that I love dearly Has cast her loving spell on me This is is the day the cuckoo likes And so do I When the hills fall down in different shapes And the swallows fly To a hidden beach where boats can’t go Mountain rivers overflow I hear the squelin' of the seagulls As off home they go And so do I, and so do I Now i can see Since the girl that I love dearly Has cast her loving spell on me I'll cross the seven oceans Forever more I'll wander For she has cast her loving spell on me This is the day the fisherman likes And so do I When the rain puts a shine on the chestnut spikes Hear the curlews cry The nightingale sings her best We'll drink a pint in hamiltons rest And the girl I love wore a muslin dress The fishermen dream of the sum in the west And so do I, and so do I
