The Young Uns, Lady Maisery, The Teacups and Fishermans Friends are all on the list. Anyone else? Suggestions appreciated. Thanks M |

12 Aug 16 - 08:36 AM (#3804700) Subject: RE: Good Current Acapella Groups (UK) From: severed-head As soon as I read the title of this thread, Sound Tradition came into my head. And although Mysha has beaten me to it, I heartily support their nomination. I suppose if Fisherman's Friends are included, that opens the door to all shanty crews. Three Sheets to the Wind and The Longest Johns are two of my favourites. If a duo qualifies, then Lynne Heraud and Pat Turner are also wonderful. Garry |

Ever since we saw them doing a sound check with 'Rufford Park Poachers' at The Albert Hole, Bristol in 2002, or thereabouts, I've been a convert! YIU gecko |

13 Aug 16 - 02:52 AM (#3804804) Subject: RE: Good Current Acapella Groups (UK) From: GUEST,Erich I would recommend "Hex", "She Shanties", Ruth & Sadie Price. Lady Maisery are great, but not really an a-capella group (they play a bunch of instruments:harp, accordion, fiddle, bansitar). The same for the Young'uns. If you mean groups with fine harmony singing, there are many more.... |

Thanks for Muldoon's Picnic, I'd not heard of them. btw Other spelling variants: http://www.singers.com/a-cappella.html I prefer a cappella If you use Spotify I've been adding tracks to a playlist, these include solo folk, unaccompanied |
