We are delighted to be teaming up with The Poozies for their Autumn tour; you can expect nothing other than "a mischievous mix of musical mayhem" kicked off by one of our stompin' sets in support of their visit to The King's.
The Poozies have been a popular mainstay on the scene since 1991. As an all-female group they were very much in the minority but they soared to success on the back of a television appearance on Shetland Sessions, filmed live at the Shetland Folk Festival. It showed off their originality, musicianship and great sense of fun, and kick-started a long career of high-profile gigs and worldwide tours. Along with founding member Mary Macmaster and long-time cohort Eilidh Shaw other distinguished members of the band during this period included Kate Rusby, Karen Tweed, Sally Barker, Mairearad Green and Patsy Seddon. A quieter time followed while children were born and raised, and the inevitable shifting of priorities and relationships. In 2015 the band came back with a bang! The grounding bass of Mary’s inimitable electro-harp and Eilidh’s lyrical west coast fiddle were joined by Orkney’s Sarah McFadyen and Oban’s Tia Files: two exceptional young multi-instrumentalists, vocalists and composers. A whole new level of energy and creativity was born and the resulting 2018 album ‘Punch’ made a big impact on the scene.
