Thanks Graeme ...

BENNET were a local (to me) super group (but being Surrey ... a "really super!" group)
Its true .. In fact the truth was that Andy's Mum did go to Iceland..
So back in 2001, they got together for a one off Christmas reunion to raise funds for local charities
One of which was to try & pay for Andy's Mum's safe return...
As GEORGE BENSON was Andy's Mum's favourite musical tipple
They thought it right & true to all change their name to BENNETTSSON & to play their "hit" in a style that Andy's Mum would appreciate ..
The result?  ............

Thanks for NECTARINE No 9 
I got the records just never heard the sessions ... Time is but a mere caprice

Thanks 

Dave

  Is this the Bennet who sang about Mother's Gone To Iceland. I guess after the name change, she'd need to get away somewhere.



  I'm sure I've got a Nectarine #9 session somewhere in a box back in Scotland, but won't be at home for some time...so if you have no luck, let me know.

  Hello Andrew...

  You are more than welcome

  I stopped listening to PEEL for a decade from around the end of 1989

  Not that I had any issue with his show, its just I moved to an area where I couldn't pick up night time radio one!!

  But quickly looking through the PEEL session archive wouldn't mind listening to any sessions from NECTARINE No9, MOONFLOWERS, LAIKA, MOONSHAKE, CREDIT TO A NATION, HEAVENLY or BENNET .... The later, whose bassist I used to play in a band with in the mid 80's.

  The hardest thing that Andy Bennett had to tell his mother, was when they changed their name to BENNET it was spelt BENNET because the label thought it looked better... 

  The pop world can be so cruel....

  Dave

    Really appreciated, thanks very much Dave.

    I can't post any links for a few weeks, but if there is any 
    show/session that you are looking for in particular, let me know and 
    I'll see if I can help.
    Cheers
    Andrew
