During their celebrated careers, both Moira and Carolyn have been recognised individually as outstanding British folk artists and together they are much admired for fine harmonies, humour and their wide repertoire.
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”.
