FLIBBERTIGIBBET

With Flibberdigibbett Allison appeared on South African television and radio.

Later in the 80's she freelanced on recordings of local singer/songwriters anddit some commercial work for advertising companies. She also participated in some satirical revues. Later she played with several jazz and rockbands and recorded an album for songwriter/producer Terry (Daydreamer) Dempsey. In the mid eighties she joined the contempory jazz group Earthlings, co-writing most of the bands material. In 1986 she returned to London and spent some years in the public sector administration, while she also worked on the reissuing of her back catalogue. Then she went to Brussels where she gigged with jazz and folk associates and appeared in pantomime. Beside teaching she is currently reheasing a vocal group called Oeda. Later in 2001 she returned to Dublin to commute for gigs and rehearsals.

"FLIBBERTIGIBBET"

I only heard their official release from 1978** (G) The music is more traditional. The record has been published in South Africa. I especially like the "Mariner Blues" song from it. In the story of Mellow Candle (above) you can read some details of how Mellow Candle evolved into Flibberdigibbet.
