Active compensatory factors: Lick The Tins was a UK folk-rock band in the mid-eighties who only released the one album before disbanding - seems the flying horses went in four different directions.

Lick The Tins were:
- Alison Marr – vocals, penny whistle
- Ronan Heenan – vocals, guitar
- Simon Ryan / Martin Hughes – drums
- Aidan McCroary – bass, keyboards
All very curious because this is a great album, with a unified folk sound.
I first heard the band on a folk sampler and fell heavily for their version of Can't Help Falling In Love. This is a great song with terrific versions from Elvis, Andy Williams, and now Lick The Tins.
The rest of the album is good without living up to that song's commercial potential. Belle From Belfast City and In The Middle of the Night are both terrific songs with great hooks. Elsewhere the various male and female voices get chances to show their wares.
Where do they all belong? A great one off!
