Simon,
Nice connection to the natural world in their music - not sure there's anything
that really stands out, I'd have to listen a few times. I see they have a song
called The Great Skua.
They're playing in Australia in the next couple of weeks if anyone wants to
google that and go to see them (Sydney area, Melbourne, Perth).
They're not the only birding musos.....
