Unfortunately the band has now split. The lead singer ian Roberts has formed a new band called `The Esplanades" down here in Devon. You should be able to google the new bands name. He is a very talented musician and I first saw him as part of the band The Crowmen with a couple of my friends in the same band. The same drummer from the crowmen is now with Ian in the Esplanades. Long live this band!!!!
