The Islanders
Scottish folk group
I don't know a lot about this group. Jim and Nacy Craig seem to have
been the main members, starting the group in about 1964 with a very
young Iain MacKintosh. By 1968 Iain had left,
and subsequently Alex Hutton was an active member. Any more information
about the group would be gratefully received:
email me. Some of The
Islanders' recorded output is detailed below.
