Recently discovered rare archive material from the early days of Tufnell Park’s finest band, The Insignificant Highlanders, has come to light.

The audio files are from sessions recorded at the band’s Leather Lane studios in Covent Garden. I’ll be releasing these into the wild every now and again. First up is crowd favourite ‘Wanna Go Home‘ recorded at Leather Lane in June 1979 (or there abouts).

The line up of the band at that time was:

  • Robo – bass and vibes
  • Martin – guitar and ‘stuff’
  • Hans Boffe – harmonica and the thing that sounds like a bee
  • Boris Binskoff – recorder

Have fun!

These posts were first published on my old WordPress site, where family, friends and passing strangers would sometimes leave comments. I’ve decided to keep a few from much loved people who are no longer with us, especially my mother, Maggie, and my father-in-law, Bob. Both were keen walkers and always took an interest in my adventures.

Should be in a Tarantino film this. Where’s the Gay Cavalier?
