The band Molendinar existed for 4-5 years from 1975 with original members Mick West, Stuart Eydmann, Alan MacFadyen and Sandy Stanage. By the time they recorded their only album in 1979, Sandy had left and Fergus Muirhead, Chris Miller and Mark Hamilton had joined. Ken Campbell was also a member, but was on tour in Turkey when the album was recorded.
Mick West forged a solo career and is currently an acclaimed singer with the Mick West Band. Stuart joined The Whistlebinkies with whom he still performs. Sandy Stanage joined Molendinar and now performs solo and in various groups. Chris Miller and Ken Campbell teamed up and toured as Piper's Maggot and then, with Alasdair Robertson, formed The Ideal Band
