Don’t miss our evening of varied folk music with Moira and Carolyn, two of Britain’s top folk artists, known for their stunning harmonies and wide repertoire. With roots in Scotland and Northumberland, they bring traditional folk songs and a touch of contemporary flair to the stage. They will be joined by Malcolm Austen, who is a fine singer of mostly Music Hall and humorous songs, and Paul Tabbush, who not only plays Northumbrian pipes exceedingly well but also makes them. The Alton Community Choir will also support with "Songs to herald the Spring". They both grew up surrounded by music and song, Moira in Scotland and Carolyn in Northumberland, and they now perform material from their traditional roots and heritage. Occasionally contemporary songs are also included in their repertoire with compelling and amusing lyrics, close harmonies, and good humour. Moira is a former winner of the Sidmouth Singer of the Year award and has long been recognised by club and festival goers for her superb interpretations of Scottish, Irish and English songs and ballads. As well as performing Carolyn is also a qualified teacher and has worked at schools in England, Scotland and Wales. She has been a consultant for a BBC TV Folk Dance series for schools, and is the former education officer for the English Folk Dance and Song Society. Carolyn directs several community choirs and runs workshops at festivals and events across the country. Their partnership has been described as “the most inordinately fine singing you’re likely to hear”. |
