do you know where i could find the song castles in the air by the spinners by any chance? I have been looking for that song for 5 years on and off now since my tape got eaten ! This is wonderful thanks for uploading :)

The only song of that name I know is the one Don McLean wrote and performed which can be found simply by entering the title in the search box.

Great  Thanks for that... Do you have any Spinners stuff on Video from the TV days???>

Further to my last reply, I have just been sent a video response to my version of '

Whip Jamboree' which contains a short view of the Spinners singing some of that song.

It's songs like this that make me wish Uilleann pipes weren't so expensive. I've been wanting to get my grubby paws on a set of those for some time now...

Yes, this is on an album 'The Spinners in Concert', and there's a copy for sale at the moment on eBay. Hope this helps. This album was originally named 'All Day Singing'.

Great stuff! Happy days in the mid-sixties at Jaccqui & Bridie's "Coach House Club" in the Mill Street Mission. Saw some terrific acts there. Was it Mondays or Wednesdays? Like I said: Happy days! We must have been the luckiest generation ever.
