A – Z Index

Here is a list of bands most of whom recorded a Fanning Session, predominately from 1981 through 1991. It is not complete (have asked RTE for a list but so far no joy). We are adding post 1991 bands as we identify them / locate the sessions. As you can see there is quite a bit of forensic work still to be done so please dig out your cassettes and start archiving!

Note: this page is not automatically updated so may be missing recently featured bands. If you spot an omission please holler!
