Just got this Email from Andy Roberts. I was trying to find an old out-of-print vinyl by a band called LONGDANCER (early 70's)..British folk rock, and a band that had Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) as one of it's founding and featured members, when I bumped into some nice CD and record stores online in the UK. They can be found on NETSOUNDS..fabulous online site for out of print and rare recordings (if they don't have it..really, no-one does). Through some internetting, I found Andy, and since LONGDANCER I think evolved into PLAINSONG...there you have it. Andy did play with Iain Matthews in Matthews Southern Comfort, and Iain emerged, as many of you know, from Fairport Convention, in the days when the band featured Richard Thompson, and the late, great, Sandy Denny. Anyhow...for all fans of British Folk-rock movement of that era, this may be of interest:
Any PLAINSONG fans out there? Mick, maybe you?
