I have to give this find to stoneeyedkiller.
I just came back from holidays and noticed that on Youtube there is a 10 song album called “Impossible” by a UK band called The Virgins. Other than that I don’t see any information about it. But somehow stoneeyedkiller has found some.
He has found that the band was formed by Johnny Meehan on lead vocals and guitar, Mart Jowett on guitar and vocals, Chez on bass and vocals and Colin McGlone on drums. They hailed from the UK and they recorded in the early 90s. That’s as much as I can say about the band.
Then we have the 10 songs, which are: “Something True”, “Mahogany Eyes”, “Bewitched”, “The Man Who Would Be King”, “Who’s Happy Now?”, “Just Got Over You”, “Don’t Look Now”, “Marie Celeste”, “Glorylands” and “I’m on Fire”.
One thing I may be able to guess is that the band hailed from Westmoreland. I saw a post on the Westmoreland Gazzette where a drummer called Colin McGlone mentions that he is looking for a double bass player in 2002 for his yet unnamed South Lakes group.
Other than that I can’t seem to find anything. Stoneeyedkiller was even able to find a photo of the band… so I wonder where all this info came from. Anyone remembers them?

Hi Roque,
I don’t know how to write to you otherwise. I found a new band on stoneeyedkiller’s youtube cannel yesterday. He posted the beautiful song “Easy on the Eyes” from 1990 by the scottish band “Don’t Mind Us”. Do you know anything about this band? I could’d find anything on your blog or somewhere else.
Cheers
Martin
Hi Martin, the email is available on the label website.
About Don’t Mind Us, I have listened to it and sounds very nice. I will try to write a post about them in the following weeks.
