I haven't got a book to find the answer....but I do know that it's 'The Times' (with Maggie May?). .

I was wondering why The Times would release that record....given the talented song-writing skills of the Swarbrigg brothers..but they had left the band long before then. Does anyone know what the brothers are up to now?

Dear Trisha,Regarding the Swarbriggs,Tommy has an entertainment agency in Mullingar,he wrote to me about three years ago,he manages Colin Gannon who is a well known Irish comedian,don't know about Jimmy,but talk occasionly to Benny White who suceeded the brothers in the Times,good singer and songwriter too.A question who was the Lurgan born singer who backed the Swarbriggs alongside Alma Carroll on their eurovision entry It's Nice To Be In Love Again?Best Wishes,Petex

Jimmy Swarbrigg is relaxing and playing a lot of golf out on the Costa Del Sol--met him a couple of years ago and he is looking well.
Myself, I'm still living on the Costa Packet in the west of Ireland..
All the best
