An independent record label belonging to Folk singer Mandy Morton, Banshee acted mainly as an outlet for her records and for those of the groups which she fronted. The company seems to have issued records only sparingly, but there were at least two singles, which were separated by eight years. The '70s one, by Mandy Morton & Spriguns, offered two tracks from the 'Magic Lady' LP, 'Song For Me' and 'Little Inbetween' It came out in 1979 and had a catalogue number of BAN S-791. A 'K 129' in the run-off suggests that the master was cut by Sound Manufacturing, but the pressing marks look like those of Linguaphone singles. The '80s single saw Mandy teaming up with Chris Mills on 'Winter Storms' and 'Children In Need' (BAN-1014; 1987).
