Mellow Candle were a progressive folk rock band. Principally Irish, the members were also unusually young, Clodagh Simonds being only 15 and Alison Bools (later O'Donnell) and Maria White 16, and still at school, at the time of their first single, "Feelin' High", released in 1968 on Simon Napier-Bell's SNB Records.

By 1972, the lineup had expanded to include Dave Williams on guitar, Frank Boylan on bass, and William Murray on drums. With this lineup in place, the band released their only album, Swaddling Songs (Deram Records), which was commercially unsuccessful at the time. Over the years, however, the lone album by the band has received considerable critical acclaim and original vinyl copies are now very valuable. Boylan was later replaced by Steve Borrill (ex-Spirogyra), but shortly afterwards the band split up. After the band's dissolution, Simonds worked with Thin Lizzy, Jade Warrior, and Mike Oldfield. Boylan played with Gary Moore, while Murray contributed to albums by Kevin Ayers, Amazing Blondel, Mike Oldfield, and Paul Kossoff.


I am a vinyl head who trades in vinyl in order to expand my collection.  I try to offer the best service possible and  I'm proud of the excellent feedback I've received.  Whilst I try very hard to grade my items accurately using the RRPG system, I accept that there will be times when others feel I've got it wrong.  I always offer a "no quibble" refund for anyone who is unhappy with the item they've received and I won't rip you off with excessive postage rates - I don't look to make a profit on postage.  You can therefore bid with confidence.

Records are always securely packaged so that they arrive in exactly the same condition as they left me.  Albums are removed from their outer sleeves to avoid splitting in transit and the item will be sent in a new polythene outer cover.  I look at vinyl trading as simply recycling (this is my bit to help save the planet!) and my packaging will reflect that.  I re-use heavyweight cardboard packaging and you will see that great care is taken to ensure that your item arrives safely.

Grading Explained

Excellent (EX)        The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.  The cover and                                 packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG)   The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite                                            noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.  Normal wear and tear on the cover and extra items, without                                any major defects, is acceptable.

Occasionally I may offer a record that is described as near mint (NM) in those cases the grading speaks for itself.
I will not normally offer vinyl that falls below a very good (VG) grading, unless the item is particularly rare.  In those instances the item will be fully described
