The Evil Sweeties are Jo Cooper (fiddle, banjo, voice), Laura Hewison (voice, cello) and Sarah-Jane Miller (voice, flute, mandolin).
Each members different musical influences mean that their repertoire is eclectic and their style intriguing. Based in the North East, they play a mixture of traditional and contemporary music from the British Isles, the American Appalacian mountains and wherever inspires them. Their own songs also form a significant part of their repertoire. The Evil Sweeties' combination of instruments is interesting and unusual but it works!
With raw, passionate, innovative and thoughtful arrangements, The Evil Sweeties express the emotion and true nature of the material they perform.
The group met studying music in Newcastle in September 2003. A few bands (e.g Bmused), informal sessions and drinks later the Evil Sweeties came into being in 2006.
They have played folk clubs, festivals, concert halls (including the Sage Gateshead), pubs, churches, pavements, and community centres!

Hi , Thanks for the add – have a good one. All the best Sososher Sososher – it’s a bit of a tongue twister isn’t it “try saying it three times in a row”. Now you’ve heard the name, you’re going to have to find out what it means.
Aaaah, how lovely you are, and sweet, with your lovely commenting! Not nearly evil - but then the "really lovely sweeties" wouldn't have quite the same ring! cheers, and keep making the lords music in the devil's key. ;)
Hello evilll sweeeeties! how are you doing? really looking forward to seeing you again at clennell, i shall be mostly wearing many layers if its as cold as last time! What day are you travelling up? We should go up together with fine wines and whatnot Really enjoying 'message in a bottle', perfect for a sunny day xx
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
