Bill is a good friend of mine in Portugal. Although he doesen't sing for a living now he still has a great voice. I believe both he and Bob were like a 'hand in glove'. Splinter were simply great! I have listened to many Splinter songs and I think your step-grandfathers' song writing is up there with the very,very best.
Well taken aback to hear from a friend who told me about these vids.....great to be reminded as I did not know a copies still existed. Hope everyone enjoys trip down happy memory lane. Great times at Tyne Tees TV with Lewis Williams, Gavin Taylor, all the team and afterwards in Studio Five - Egypt Cottage. Cheers Dave Eager.
The Place I love, Harder to Live, and Two Man Band - All 3 Dark Horse albums were remastered and released by a label called Big Pink from South Korea. Found this info on the internet. Would love to see a label like Omnivoure do a collection, and include the Apple single God Save Us /Do The Oz - Bill Elliott and The Elastic Oz Band produced by John Lennon. Should also include the singles they sang in Spanish and Japanese.

RIP Bill Elliott...thank you very much for your records and amazing singing with Bobby!
The Badfinger of Dark Horse Records!
honestly, when I listen to the first album I keep imagining George Harrison's voice (if he wasn't so hoarse at the time)
Thank you two.fab Geordies xxx🍺🍺xx
What a lovely find! Great to see this pitch-perfect live performance - Fine singing from the Shields' guys. Thank you.
Lovely find, and playing on their home programme. Superb footage
