Coope Boyes & Simpson have taken the English tradition of unaccompanied singing in radical new directions. “Few can compete live with their voices, whether singing an unaccompanied traditional song or one of their own,” says a commentary from the BBC; “They are currently our most inspiring vocal harmony group.”
Offering both written arrangements & the chance to harmonise by ear, Coope Boyes and Simpson's workshop will draw on the band's songwriting & a range of traditional material.
IN THE EVENING COOPE BOYES & SIMPSON PERFORM AT THE LEWES SATURDAY FOLK CLUB AT THE ELEPHANT & CASTLE
