To the Guardians of this article:[edit]

Hi, I found what seemed a better band article. Not knowing zip about the topic, I uploaded it and placed it here midway for you to do with as you see fit. Seems the one on top is too blurry, and the one I added a tad too dark. ?? Good luck! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 20:16, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No idea who they are at all :) However file is re-uploaded having tweaked it a bit. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 20:25, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Handsome Family[edit]

Not sure Handsome Family could be described as 'young, emerging folk musicians', even at the time of the Big Session tours. Murkeychris (talk) 07:03, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redrict[edit]

Why is almost every album a redrict back to the Oysterband. Their might be one or two ones that are not are a redrict, so can someone remove all the album redricts to oysterband and leave the albums that have articles alone.--213.83.125.225 (talk) 11:00, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First album[edit]

Was it 1978 or 1980 ? - both dates are given here. -- Beardo (talk) 19:36, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Album links?![edit]

What is the point of all the re-directs back to this same page in the links for most of the albums? This is really very annoying if one expects these "blue links" to all work? Surely better to have no link or even a red link? Thanks. BridesheadRecarpeted (talk) 22:52, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've created pages for all the albums redirected. They're all stubs at the moment, some very much so, so in the spirit of Wikipedia feel free to fire in and expand them yorkshiresky (talk) 19:24, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see that Bridesheadredcarpeted was not the first to hate the connected albums. There is a post from someone on 14 June 2010 (see abve) going on about the same thing. I'm going to add to some of the pages now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TangoTizerWolfstone (talk • contribs) 18:10, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that was a great idea. Thank you, but not all the credit deserves to go to those two loads--Lewi6400youtubeChannel (talk) 13:39, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

what the...? who the...?[edit]

got redirected to this page whilst looking for info on jonesy. well, that sort of makes sense, since it was jones' band.

BUT WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT? has someone excised a whole section, or enthusiastically installed a link to here on the disambiguation page?

either way, it needs fixing.
