Recordings:
 

They recorded an LP back in 1990 called ”If you're up - you're in it!”  (No longer available). This LP reached no 16 in the folk album charts for 1990 despite only being released at the end of September 1990. 

This led to appearing as headliners on a one and a half hour Radio 2 show with special guests, The McCalmans and Ralph McTell. There were other people on the show as well - but the lure of the BBC staff bar at Pebble Mill proved to be that bit too strong. They even got their name in the Radio Times (Heady days indeed).
