In the process of working together over the years we have occasionally recorded tracks that aren’t on on the albums but that are worth listening to for one reason or another.  On this page, you’ll find a number of free downloadable tracks that cover different times and episodes in the    story.    Keep revisiting - we’ll certainly add more as time goes on.

For a time in the late 70s, when Fairlie had drifted out of touch, Chris, Mary and Bernie joined up with John Carey - an old mate from College.  John had always previously played his own stuff as a solo artist and so this short-lived Whinchat incarnation was good fun for all of us.  We recorded all of these songs in a day at a Leicester recording studio in the Belgrave area. Good times - and some really good songs.  John - if you’re out there - get in touch.

Before we recorded this song as a four part harmony for ‘Between the Covers’ Bernie had double-tracked this as singalong with the great EC. A privilege to do and intended only as a simple homage to a great singer.

Fields of Gold (Sumner)

 

We put two songs from Chris’s ‘Beatles Project’  - all parts and instruments by him and him alone! - on ‘Between the Covers’.  There wasn’t room for this - so here it is.
