The Skips (1989 Session – Part 2)

We’re on a bit of a Derrick Dalton thing at the minute thanks to Ken Sweeney & Tom Dunne’s Irish jangle show (Crumb session in the works).  The Skips were Amanda Claxton (vocals), Derrick Dalton (guitar), Pete Corrigan (bass) and Darren Nolan (drums). This is the remainder of their 1989 Fanning session we posted the first half of here. Thanks to Paul for digging this out. Update: Thanks to a comment by Darren on the other Skips post, correcting the title of the second track below which is actually a demo recorded at Sun Studios.
