The Shepherd's Wife Andrew Carr - Music

The Poozies Is A Folk Band Playing Music From The British Isles And Beyond. The Band Was Formed In 1990 After Patsy Seddon And Mary Macmaster Performing As Scottish Harp Duo Sìleas Had Been Working With Singer Sally Barker On A Solo Album. They All Agreed That A New Women's Group Was A Good Idea And When Barker Met The All-Ireland Accordion Champion Karen Tweed At The Hong Kong Folk Festival The Band Was Born. Barker Brought An Element Of Rock Music Sensibility To The Band's Sound When She Left To Start A Family The "voice Of The Nineties" Kate Rusby Joined. With Rusby Came A More Traditional Flavour And A Blossoming Of The Harmony Singing That Is Such A Trade-Mark Of The Poozies. However Rusby's Meteoric Rise To Stardom Via The Mercury Awards Swept Her Away From The Band To Concentrate On Solo Work.
