  what happened next
  principal edwards:                                                                                                              Some 'new' material was recently released of songs recorded in 1974 which had never previously seen the light of day.

As for the band.....over to Root Cartwright, who kindly supplied the following in 2008 for this website

Belinda Bourquin became interested in Scandinavian fiddle and dance music after a trip to Sweden in 2003 and has recently formed a band which features a blend of English, French and Swedish material combined with original compositions. She also teaches music theory and piano.

Root Cartwright developed other interests after a few frustrating years as freelance musician. These included garden design and, later, photography, exhibiting his work widely in art galleries through the country. Having recently resumed composing and playing music, he is currently planning his first solo album of acoustic music.

David Jones now lives in Mumbles, on Swansea Bay, and has been running his own editorial services company (www.adastrawales.com) since 1989.
