I think you'll find his name was actually Raymond Roland.

'Standfast were a subsidiary of the legendary, and sadly defunct, Topic label.'

Eh?

Standfast was an independent label based in SW London and had absolutely nothing to do with the still thriving Topic label.

What are you on? Irate drugs or red guitars?

Chill out mate, it's just a mistake. And yes, it is Raymond Rowland, as opposed to Raymond Rowland, yes.

'And yes, it is Raymond Rowland, as opposed to Raymond Rowland, yes.'

Eh? What?

OK, the album cover misspells his surname. It was Roland.

Fair nuff. Couldn't work out what you were on about. Too many irate drugs for me, clearly...

Lovely hornpipes

Lovely banjo playing by Liam Farrell on track 6. The first hornpipe is called Paddy's on the album but is also known as Across The Fence http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1294
