Surprising no one has commented on this one yet. I think it's some of the best trad folk of it's time.
I got this from another site thinking it was the other Peelers. I think it`s great. Does anyone know anything more about the band or it`s members?
Quote ".......LP
BANISHED MISFORTUNE (1972, Polydor 2460 165)
(reissued 1980 as BANISH MISFORTUNE, Dolphin DOLM 5039)
SINGLES
BROKEN DOWN SQUATTER/RAMBLIN' ROBIN (1979, Barleycorn BAC 001)
THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS/SWEET MEMORIES (1982, Masquerade MASQ 1)
JOHN O'DREAMS/FAIR AND TENDER BEAUTY (1983, Afterhours AFT 11)
JOHN O'DREAMS/DICEY REILLY (1983, Priority P7)
The last listed was billed as by "The Peelers featuring Mandy Murphy"
I was not involved with the album or the first single. I produced the other 3 singles and sing co-lead vocals on "Dicey Reilly"
Charles O'Connor (Horslips) plays fiddle on "The Wind In The Willows", and Tommy Keane plays pipes on the 3 A sides produced by me. I also play various things here and there, though mainly bass on "John O'Dreams".
By the way, Roddy's link is for a different band of the same name, although Miranda Mulholland of that band played with Chevron Harrigan and Woods in Canada in 2003.

Where is the download?
A girlfriend of mine in the mid-seventies lent me a copy of this L. P., which I correctly, and foolishly, gave back. I have not heard any tracks from that record until today. It brings it all back...
