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.
