Trader Horne: Jackie McAuley (vocals, guitar, flute, piano, harpsichord, organ, congas) Judy Dyble (vocals, autoharp, piano); Ray Elliot (alto flute, bass clarinet); Joe Godfrey (bass); Andy White (drums). Judy Dyble sang with a pre-Sandy Denny Fairport Convention, and instrumentalist Jackie McAuley played briefly with Them. Together, they released just this one album in 1970, which did not create much excitement at the time. Years later, record collectors began clamoring for the hard-to-find release, which in retrospect had gained a reputation as a decent offering of baroque, wispy British folk. Though not groundbreaking, the album, available now as a CD, is a delightful listen, and will appeal to any fan of castle-and-tapestry folk and twee acoustic balladry.
