The Cumberland Three were Alex Beaton, Brian Fogarty and Leonard Sturrock, who went the the same school in Glasgow, where they formed a skiffle group.
Lenny Sturrock later worked at Yarrows Shipbuilders in Glasgow as an engineer.
After school Brian and Leonard sang in clubs together, but it wasn't till they met a German student who ran a folk club in Germany that they were converted to folk music. They reunited with Alex and formed the group.
By 1963 they had a residency at Glasgow's top jazz club, The Royal Garden, alternating with Josh McRae.
The same year they appeared with Robin Hall & Jimmie MacGregor at a big folk concert in Glasgow, followed by radio spots and club engagements.
Later in 1963 the group moved to London to try their hands outside of Scotland.
They released one LP and a few singles and broke up in 1965.
In 1968 Alex Beaton launched a solo career, singing country and pop as well as folk songs.
Eventually he settled on singing "traditional Celtic music", and he now has a large American following, and regularly sells out his tours when he comes home to Scotland (after initially settling in Los Angeles, he lives in Franklin Tennessee)

LABELS: MINT
A pristine pair of labels - no spindles traces or any signs of use
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces are practically unmarked and shine like new - light 'in-vinyl' pressing blemishes only (of no audible significance)
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
My play-check at volume found little to fault the beautiful sound - nothing but an isolated tick/pop (from new as I don't think this copy has ever been played). Lovely LP, reminiscent of very early Simon & Garfunkel
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Clean sharp and fresh
