Bob thanks for the info. I must say I had a soft spot for Light a Big Fire. Scale the Heights I saw a lot until the early nineties. I wonder what they recorded later on it would be good to find out. They had some great songs 'Disposable' being one that stays with me; 'Horseshoe' is another one. Funny you mention the Chills & Go-Betweens in your mail I do think they had that aspect to them which was unusual for an Irish Band. I have the single and some tapes which are good. But from what I recall of the live set they never put out the best stuff.

Well then I agree with the WB comments. As for the other bands I did not like LABF at all. The Fireflys I only know through seeing them on TV when I was younger and a song called sticks and stones (?).As for Scale the Heights your post brings back memories of the baggot inn and a resedency they had during a particular summer about 1990. The word awesome springs to mind and I thought that at the time and still do now.The critics loved them and so did a lot of people who caught them live. I remember seeing many familiar faces at their gigs. They released one single and had some really strong songs that never made it to record and I think I may have some Fanning sessions. One of them left and the rest formed another band which was different but not the same. I do recall a few years back having a conversation with someone who knew one of them who said they actually had been recording again but heard no more of it. They kind of had a alt country ,Chills, Rem,Go-betweens and great live. Anyway thats all I can remember for you. By the way it seems some Journos also have the single in their collections see what you think of the link a reference perhaps?
