WHO SAID THAT?

“It’s a pleasure to recommend these strong singers with their unusual repertoire, good workshop potential, to listeners and festival bookers alike.”

ROY HARRIS

 

“Always good value”

JOHN KIRKPATRICK

 

“Their versatility has to be seen to be believed”

The late DAVE JONES

“100% pure entertainment”

SIMON OLIVER of the HOY AT ANCHOR

FOLK CLUB, LEIGH on SEA

 

“efficient, effective and effervescent”

MICHELE READ

of WOODWORKS FESTIVAL

MARSTON MORETAINE, BEDS.

 

“If you want to know where our musical heritage lives listen to Life and Times – it’s that simple”

TIM CARROLL

of www.folkwords.com

 

“How refreshing to find someone writing songs in the tradition, in such a fine way. If I had the cash I would hire you now!”

DAVE at LIONHEART RADIO, ALNWICK

and CLENNELL HALL FOLK FESTIVAL

 

“In the 21st century, it's reassuring to know that the story telling tradition is in good hands, at least if Messrs Meek and Goodman have anything to do with it.”

LES PILLING at NORTH WEST FOLK
