They came to public attention through a The Guardian column by Will Hodgkinson, concerning his year-long project to start a record label, after he saw them playing in The Jacobs Ladder pub in Falmouth. The band lived together on a boat, and formed due to a collective love of obscure 1970s folk bands such as Heron and Trees.[1] They recorded an album, Rosemarie, named after their boat, in the garden of a Cornish cottage with Circulus main man, Michael Tyack, and Benet Walsh producing.[2] The album was well received by the press, receiving four stars from The Times,[3] along with Mojo magazine, Record Collector and others.
The band played at Green Man Festival in 2007, and Radio 1 DJ Rob Da Bank afterward declared them the "Kings and Queens of the Green Man", announcing, "They're so folky it hurts".[4]
The group disbanded in 2008.[5] They briefly reformed in 2010.
