The Whinchat Final Concert available for download

We found a battered old reel to reel tape that had been lying on a shelf for years at Lawrence 'Faz' Faragher's place.  He thought it might contain Whinchat recordings.  It lay on a shelf in Bernie's house for a few more years (no-one had a reel to reel to play it on!). Finally, it got sent away to a firm who transferred it to CD.  After many further hours of work in Audition (such a great programme for playing with .wav files!  And now available on Macs too!) its now been completely re-mastered into this 'mainly excerpts' format.  Enjoy if you were there or knew us at the time.  We've split the file into two so if you want to search for something it'll be a bit easier.  There's a great intro to the second half when we sang 'Silent Night' to set the scene for the Summer Ball at our College the next day (!?) and got the audience to join in.   And of course the whole thing ends with what everyone thought of as our signature song - Suite: Judy Blue Eyes.  Nice to have a halfway decent recording of that one at last.

If you want a .wav CD copy of the Final Concert, we'll burn one specially for you (but note that that one won't be in the fully printed livery that the main albums come in).
