When the renowned public school at Foxhole, Dartington, Devon (now no longer) was visited by three of the students from Dartington College of Arts they were accompanied by ethno-musicologist, Peter Kennedy and his recording gear, so there was bound to be some folk fireworks from the trio. Relaxed in front of their younger contemporaries, 1970 was their last year as students at Dartington for Sam Richards, Paul Wilson and Patricia Stubbs, who, at the time, were calling themselves "Staverton Bridge". After leaving college they were hopeful of keeping the trio together and, in fact, all three did go on singing and playing, some of them still carrying on the folk traditions in the community in the county. Other recordings included SAYDISC SDL-266 1975 and PEOPLES STAGE (C-45 Cassette) Totnes 1978.
