Silk Purse at North Stamford
On Thursday 15th February Silk
Purse are guests of Folk at the
Drum, The Drum Inn, Stone Street, North Stanford TN25
6DN http://www.folkatthedrum.co.uk
Sue
and Lyndsey Rule were familiar faces on the Kent and
Sussex folk circuit for many years as part of the wonderful
family folk group Pig's
Ear. As Silk Purse, they give their own stamp to
an eclectic mix of traditional, contemporary and self-penned
material. Alternating the two lead voices with a-capella harmony,
Silk Purse offer you the sweet and the silly, choruses and
ballads, delivered with zest and style.
