Bio
........You've been marked on my visitor map!...... Dave and Anni are two fine singers whose enthusiasm for traditional and traditional style song comes over in their powerful peformance which has grown from their involvement in traditional music for over 30 years. Their first love is accappella singing, whether solo or in harmony. Both acknowledge the debt of gratitude that is owed to source and early revival singers who have helped to keep alive this wonderful singing style. Dave and Anni are busy performing for folk song clubs, folklore societies and festivals, both at home and in the USA and Canada. They present a good cross section of material from the delicate solo to the rousing chorus. Anni's intuative harmony adds color and depth to the duo whilst her solo performace is clear and sensitive. From the North East of England Anni is a "Geordie" and presents an unusual reportoir featuring dialect songs from her own area. This has earned Anni a well deserved reputation in English traditional music circles as a fine singer. Dave sings with a rich and powerful style. His love of this music is clear in his performance, from the gentle and plaintive traditional ballad to the stirring chorus song which inspires even the most reticent audience to join in. Dave is a native of the west country and particularly loves the music from that area. Dave is also a song writer of note with many of his better known songs often assumed to be traditional. Foremost among these is probably "Lady of Autumn" although many of Daves other songs can be heard as far afield as Australia. While Anni and Dave are much sought after in the U.K they also perform regularly in USA and Canada. They have regularly delighted audiences on both east and west coasts of America since 1990. Apart from their concert work their recordings are frequently featured on national and local radio stations and have been used for television. From time to time they combine their talents with other performers in musical and theatrical productions. Dave and Anni have made several albums which feature their duo and solo performance and have appeared with other artists on many more. All of their albums are recorded at MARS Recording Studios in Chesham Bucks. Dave has published a book of his self penned songs all of which are written in the traditional idiom.
