Fuctifano Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) Google and various AI searches have failed me so reaching out to P&B... I'm trying to find a song which has been rattling about my head that I remember hearing in childhood (late 80s / early 90s) but I'm fairly sure it dates back further than that as it would have been on Radio Clyde 2 which my parents listened to at that point. It was on absolutely loads around that time along with other pish like Foster and Allen. It has a 60s New Seekers / Peter Paul & Mary vibe with block harmonies Starting point is it might be called something like the Islander Tree or Allander Tree though obviously those aren't turning up anything on google. and the lyrics I half remember go something like "under the shade of the" (maybe "under the beautiful") Islander? Tree at the end of the chorus and there's a bit which goes "those days I remember" just before that. Edited August 28 by Fuctifano 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the lyrics I remember were wrong too. edit: of course there's a version of it by Foster & Allen as well.

As Eednud noted, it's been discussed a couple of times on the MIA thread, but no one seems to know him directly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
