A few months earlier, the band had been sent an impressive demo tape of the Irish style fiddler and multi-instrumentalist George Faux from Liverpool. Also, they had been thinking of asking an old friend from Shetland, Ivor Pottinger, to join on vocals and guitar. Ivor had played in bands around Shetland for a while, and came from a large family of singers and musicians. When the band returned to Edinburgh in 1981, they were joined by both Ivor and George.
