This was Martin Jenkins<\/b> new band after Dando Shaft<\/b>. Martin had played with Mathew’s Southern Comfort – From Hobo Magazine 1973<\/b><\/p>\n

“Mathew’s Southern Comfort has, I’m told, been graced with the talents of Coventry’s Martin Jenkins, late of the Coventry band Dando Shaft. Martin, who has written some incredible songs including Whispering Ned, Waves Across the Ether) and plays Mandolin, flute and fiddle (etc.). Martin has been featured as a guest on a previous Southern Comfort tracks” <\/i>

One day Thomas – Martin Jenkins<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

ONE DAY THOMAS <\/b>is the name of Martin Jenkin’s <\/b>new band (formerly of Dando Shaft)<\/b>
\n“The new band features other established personalities such as Barry Skinner on guitar and vocals \/ John Mckintosh on double bass and John Astle on drums. Martin plays guitar, fiddle, mandolin and flute. They are of course an electric band and most of the material is far removed from that of Dando Shaft. They play mostly jigs and reels and electrified folk songs.”<\/i>

Not long after Martin was back with Dando Shaft version 2 including Baz Andruszcko and Rod Felton for a play at the Belgrade Theatre c1974
