The founder members were two like-minded university students\u2014Gordon Jones (guitar, bodhran, vocals, bouzouki, mandola) and Bob Thomas (guitar, mandolin, mandola, banjo, concertina). The as-yet-unnamed band was sometimes joined by thirteen-year-old schoolboy Johnny Cunningham (fiddle, viola, mandola, vocals), who began more extensive touring with the band in 1972. Phil Cunningham joined and the rest was history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artist website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sillywizard.co.uk\">http:\/\/www.sillywizard.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Single title:<\/strong> Queen of Argyll<br \/>\n<strong>Album title:<\/strong>Live Again<br \/>\n<strong>Single artist:<\/strong> Silly Wizard<br \/>\n<strong>Single duration:<\/strong> 3:24<br \/>\n<strong>Record Label:<\/strong> Birnam CD<br \/>\n<strong>Writers:<\/strong> Andy M.
