Craig,
Morgan and Robson
To hear this trio is a wonderful experience. Moira
Craig, Sarah Morgan, and Carolyn Robson are an a
cappella harmony trio with an unsurpassed reputation
in the UK and the States. Timeless songs of love
and longing rub shoulders with compelling contemporary
songs, and passionate, dramatic ballads take their
place alongside lilting Shetland melodies or a stirring
hymn from the Ozark mountains. The occasional solo
song only adds to the variety of their overall performance.
Here is a trio in which three distinctively different
voices melt into one another to create a sound which
is all their own. "True tradition bearers"
(Living Tradition). £7 (Members £5)
