Poor Old Horse performed together after Jerry Epstein gathered them to sing as a trio in New York's Christmas Revels in 1992, singing at concerts and festivals until 2004. The group's name is from an old sea chanty and has no significance whatsoever. David Jones is originally from South East London. For the past forty-odd years he has lived in various parts of the USA, finally settling in Leonia NJ, gateway to the golden west. A stalwart of The Starboard List and The Bermuda Quadrangle, David is renowned as a solo artist and has released several recordings, most recently "From England's Shore". His recordings for children have won national acclaim. These include "Widdecombe Fair" and the aptly titled "Songs of Exquisite Taste". Heather Wood was born in Yorkshire and started her singing career in the 1960s with Peter Bellamy and Royston Wood in the Young Tradition. She later sang with Royston as "No Relation", and with Andy Wallace as "Crossover". She is also a songwriter, an editor, secretary of the SETI League, and much, much, more. In addition to the Young Tradition recordings (including "Young Tradition : Oberlin 1968", issued in 2013) Heather has a solo recording, "The Love That I Have Chosen". She espouses the notion that traditional music should be enjoyed and not enshrined. Tom Gibney, the token American, was born in Bronx (NY). His parents both came from musical families in Ireland--grandfathers on both sides were fiddle players and singers. His mother's family, the O'Dowds of Sligo, are well known for their music. Tom, who died in 2005, was an enthusiastic and respected singer of traditional songs. He provides occasional accompaniment to POH on guitar, banjo, and fiddle. His solo CD, "Tom Gibney", was issued after his death.
