I wanted to hear this album for years. Meanwhile, it grew to one of the perfect folk albums in my mind. The circumstances were perfect for a large scale disappointment. But not only did it live up to the impossible expectations--it actually surpassed them! A few rather common traditionals and a fair deal of songs borrowed from the Bert Jansch/Pentangle repertoire might not sound like a very inspiring set, but truth is the performances are spot-on. So many folk acts have great female vocals and not even half as good male vocals. Not so in this case. The vocals are brilliant, the harmonies blend in perfection, the guitar playing is sometimes jaw-dropping. An excellent proof that there are still treasures to be found out there.
Early days. Note the beards ( on Dave and Jim that is)

PEOPLE hereabouts tell me I really should have caught Tickawinda first time around.
Back in 1979, Kath Richmond, Alison Tulloch, David Birchwood and Jim Schofield (yes, that one) comprised the resident group at the Rose & Crown Folk Club in Stalybridge.
