Mellow Candle was an Irish progressive folk rock band formed around three young female singers who met at a Dublin convent school. They had two singles and one album, Swaddling Songs. They broke up, in debt, in 1973.
Swaddling Songs later became a cult LP and Stephen Malkmus covered The Poet and The Witch, which is my favourite from the album.
Mellow Candle - The Poet and The Witch
NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist
I was reminded of a band that I used to love, who I assumed would go stratospheric, only for them to, well, not. So with that in mind, next week's theme is:
They coulda been a contender
Fling your also-rans at me. Your one-hit wonders who had whole albums worth of quality tunes, but who were cruelly ignored by the pop-picking-people. Use the tag #ThePlaylistSuggestion to ensure I can find it.

As ever, @Troggie has been splendid and collected all of the tracks played on this week's #ThePlaylist into neat, well, playlists.
Thank you, @Troggie!

flat

Share it far, and share it wide.

@Nickiquote There's no such thing as "off-topic" on #ThePlaylist. If the theme inspires the thought, then it fits.
TWO songs on #ThePlaylist? Both arguably off-topic? Cheers @DJDarren
So. Many. Songs. About. Flats/Apartments for tonight's theme.
Which is, lest we forget, "Flat"
That has to be one of most tenuous links to the theme yet, and I enjoyed it enormously. Thank you @KaraLG84
Why would @KaraLG84 have suggested this song, do you think?
It's fair to say that reaction to the new ident is mixed in the chat at https://stream.labr.online.
This is, I'm afraid, the best song I'll be playing tonight.
This track isn't really one for dancing either, but it *is* a banger.
I won't lie, this one ain't for dancing. Well, not energetic dancing, anyway.
The bass on this is squelchier than an overly full nappy.
IT DIDN'T GET WORSE! I AM *SUCH* A FOOL!
That was a proper jolly first song. It can only get worse from there.
Two hours until this week's edition of #ThePlaylist comes thundering through your town, flattening all in its path.
The theme this week:
Flat
And the tunes we've got lined up are anything but.

ATTENTION LISTENERS TO #ThePlaylist:
YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO BE EXCITED THAT THERE IS A NEW IDENT FOR TODAY'S PROGRAMME
TRANSMISSION ENDS
Also, it's lovely to hear The Bluetones. Even if Mark Morriss turned out to problematic with a capital PROBLEM, they put out some sublime tunes in their time. So thanks to the radiant @sharongascoigne for that one
