Thats my uncle Jim and Aunt Sylvia Barnes in the middle there.I always loved listening to their stuff.Even when i was a kid i used to love listening to my uncle playing the guitar and the cittern
God rest Uncle Jim bloody hell the best forgotten band of all time honorable mention Jock Tamsons Bairns, the Tannahill Weavers Battlefield Band. The only time you hear from, Topic is on the Tragic occasion of the passing of Norma Waterson. Will there be any stars in her crown never doubt it
That would, be, a matter, for Topic Records, memo self, give them a bell why the censored not on cd, stands, the test, by, the, they were are bloody good
@RogerMeadowstailor1, I was a friend of Jim and Sylvia back in the day when they stayed in the Gorbals, Tam Drysdale and I played with them and sometimes Tony Cuffe in the Scotia Bar and Victoria Bar and one time at the Aberfeldy folk festival. Jim was a great guy and Sylvia had the most wonderful voice.
Aaah this reminds me of our annual street party on the road I live - we get folk bands coming down and performing on the road and everyone jigs their tits off till they collapse (even though no one can do it right)

Bloody brilliant, one album, for frigs sake Topic Records, wash your hands, after you God, take unto your care the soul, of Jim Barnes
Brilliant band - bought this LP when it came out and it's still one of my all time favourites. WIsh they'd release it on CD!

Topic have long since bitten the dust damn them to hell

Please put up Sylvia's "Last O' the Tinkler" from this album. I loaned my copy of the vinyl and it never came back, or I'd have it up now.
Brutal
Hell yeh.
Robin, was this at all an influence upon the shredding section at the end of Sim Sala Bim?
yes
Why does this remind me of spongebob
