Bio
Synonymous with quality, Scold’s Bridle is established as one of the leading female duos in the country. The relaxed manner of their delivery conjures intimacy and belies the care and preparation that goes into each performance, where each set is crafted to match the audience. Exquisite harmonies are interwoven with sensitive interpretation to produce a spectrum of songs ranging from the poignant to the wistful, from ballad to rousing chorus. With stagecraft well developed and with warmth and open friendliness, interchanges and asides allow the audience to be a part of a perfectly timed and polished performance. Style, confidence and mellow maturity exude as these two introduce their material and once launched, their own enjoyment of the songs captures, enraptures and enthuses all. .. Scold’s Bridle have developed a themed show entitled “We are The Women Left on the Shore”. A winner wherever played, this evocative show is a must for Festival and Concert audiences..... Music from this show was the inspiration and foundation for the Archive Hour Show on Radio 4 entitled "The Women on the Shore" aired on 14thApril 2007. ....What People are Saying about Scolds Bridle.. .... "Fine hamonies, good music and excellent presentation- Splendid"- Alan Bearman- Sidmouth International Festival... “Scold’s Bridle offer songs ancient and modern, seasoned with warmth and wit and are the perfect act for a listening audience which is keen to participate. They make hearts swell feet tap and tears flow with evocative sets. You shall be moved.”Gordon Wilson-Grimsby.. “Scold’s Bridle just get better and better” Jan Lardner- BBC Radio Lancashire.. “Thanks for a stonking night!” Clive Pownceby- Bothy Folk Song Club.. “Fleetwood duo Scold’s Bridle certainly know how to captivate an audience” Grimsby Telegraph.. “A wonderful duo who will enhance any festival or concert” Jan & Geoff Pickles- Cleckheaton Folk Festival.. .. ..

From Sydney Town,
In uni. break,
I drove out west
To earnings make
Onion picking,
On the fields
Of Echuca,
That year’s yields.
After day’s work,
From Y.H.A.,
A group of us
Would not delay
To walk on down
To the dirt rim
Of the Murray,
For a cool swim.
On one such day,
I do declare,
Some three of us
Had a big dare
To swim across,
From state to state,
The wide Murray -
I took the bait.
Yes, foolishly,
I took the bait -
A choice that I
Would come to hate,
For I almost
Did drown that date,
Making the swim
From state to state.

Poem 187 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(see my blog for details): A SOUTH SHIELDS WALKABOUT - AUTUMN 2001
Out of the museum-and-gallery
(Wiser on Cookson and the local way),
Down Ocean Road with, to the right of me,
Its eateries and, left, neat places to stay;
Before, on either side, Marine Parks -
The southern-one a most beautiful place,
Teeming with moorhens, swans, grebes and mallards
In a small lake at a scenic-hill’s base.
Then (holding chips from the parade’s cafe
And, thus, a flock of gulls squawking above)
Onto the South Pier I made my way:
Seeing seaweed over rocks - like a glove -
And high-and-dry sands held from transgression
By growth of grass and the weaving of wood,
Plus, in the dim light of a sleepy sun,
Fishing boats returning to Tynemouth’s hood.
(C) David Franks 2003
Have a magnificent musical moment this weekend (Give sheedyfrost a listen!)
Peace!
Paul and Vincent!
