Great Band! ***** The Boat Band are: Kate Barfield - fiddle; Mark Burke - percussion, melodeon; Greg Stephens - banjo, guitar, percussion, melodeon; Tony Weatherall - melodeon. Did any of these play in the band "Companions of the Rosy Hour" ? The fiddler in that band was Neti Vaan but I don't know the others.
No, I have been away from South Uist for most of the last 33 Years and the nearest I came to seeing/hearing you live would be when I was in Skye from 1983 to 85 and I think you might have come as far north as Armadale or Mallaig or even Glenelg around that time: Unfortunately I didn't even manage that much!
i remember you guy played and rocked the house on Rathlin Island back in the early 90's .. i still have your t-shirt..
