David, Stephen, Cat and Cynthia:
Sorry guys, I should have made it clearer. The reason I said
> ...a group called The Whistlebinkies (yes, really)...
was because this is ANOTHER group with the same name. Stuart Eydmann, who
occasionally contributes to the list (when he's got time), is a member of
the celebrated, still existing, Whistlebinkies, as is Eddie McGuire, who
is also well respected in the contemporary classical music scene (can I
say contemporary classical? Not after a couple of pints, anyway).
My record is by an unknown outfit who sang such staple Scottish and Irish
songs as "Twa Recruiting Sergeants", "Mormond Braes", "Banks of the Roses"
and so on. I find it extraordinary that they were apparently unaware of
the other mob; or was it the other way around?.
