One probably shouldn't blow one's own trumpet, but someone has to! So as others have said:
'The audience was treated to a wonderful evening of folk songs. They constantly vary their delivery, sometimes singing together, sometimes alone, sometimes engaging members of the audience, but always entertaining. Their skilful presentation keeps the audience enthralled. A truly magical evening!'
Carol Rawle, Porlock Arts Festival
'Loads of lovely chorus songs and chat from these much-admired and powerful traditional and contemporary singers. They gave us a brilliant night.'
Hyde Folk Club, Plymouth.
'I always really look forward to seeing and hearing Tom and Barbara, for their special brand of west-country warmth ensures a wholly personable welcome every time and their years of experience (and intense enjoyment) of singing brings an immediacy and freshness to every performance they give.'
David Kidman, NetRhythms
'Quite apart from the unusual material, excellent musicianship and fine singing, you go away from a Tom and Barbara gig thinking, "Yes, it was nice just being with them tonight – a pleasure to be in their company." '
Clive Pownceby, Bothy FC, Southport
Hope to see some of you at one or other of them.
Barbara
