The sister-label to Tony Johnson's 'Cuchulainn' label (q.v.). The headquarters of the pair was in Derry, which qualifies them for this site, though they also had Dublin addresses. According to 'Music Week' of the 17th of November 1973 they had been in operation for a year and were distributed in the North via Johnson's 'Meejay Records' company; the article says that as well has being handled by Meejay the company had been approached by UK distributors. Flame was the 'Pop' outlet, the more obviously Irish material going out on Cuchulainn. Numbering of Flame singles was in the FLM-000s; the Irish Rock website lists an undated FLM-052, which suggests that the discography below may well be very incomplete. Both labels seem to have concentrated more on albums in the second half of the decade and into the early '80s. Thanks to Nicholas Hough for the scan.
