A) They were fantastic.
B) What became of them?
C) Any CDs available?

I was at the Wickham festival last weekend. The sound guy played some of
their tracks as they were readying the stage for Steeleye Span..........and
it was like entering a time warp.

God yes, wonderful eclectic mix of folk, Renaissance, jazz & allsorts ....

B) What became of them?
Rosie Cross became an Arts Development Officer somewhere in the West
Country. Ian Blake emigrated to Australia, plays in folk & jazz bands over
there, and also occasionally works with Andrew Cronshaw. Mark Emerson is
married to / long-term partner of June Tabor and so works with her a lot,
and was also notably involved with Tim Harries & Andy Cutting in the
glorious 1651 Playford project. Bill Martin, AFAIK, is still working for
Yamaha.

The Man In The Moon Drinks Claret can be had from Amazon, I think that's the
only one still in print.

All that (apart from checking Amazon) off the top of my head - I really must
still be a Pyewackett fan! 'A most melodious twang' ...

No help to you, but I have an LP copy of "This Crazy Paradise" from 1986
- this is a deeply excellent album, thanks for reminding me of it!

BTW the spelling is Pyewackett (two T's), if that helps any searching.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
