To quote from their excellent website
Andrew McKay and Carole Etherton are singers
and musicians, currently living near Swansea in
South Wales, UK - in fact, they live in the Gower
village of Llangennith, once home to the renown
source-singer Phil Tanner. Andrew is also making
a name for himself as a songwriter, drawing
inspiration from historical tales of Swansea, its
industry and maritime traditions. Increasingly, his
songs (new songs of old times) are being taken
up and recorded by other singers. Their CDs
appear under the name Crane Drivin' Music -
the reason for this will become clearer when you
click here (well clearer than it is now!)
