They all agreed there was a gap for a women's folk super group and when Sally met the all-Ireland accordion champion, Karen Tweed, at the Hong Kong Folk Festival, the band was born. During the last 17 or so years, the band has enjoyed great success wherever they have travelled. This is due largely to the spirit of joy in their music, which is at their core whatever changes are on the surface.
The Poozies The Poozies Seventeen years down the line The Poozies seem to have found the secret of eternal youth. Still with three original members, Sally, Patsy and Mary, they have been energised by the perfectly compatible additions of Eilidh and Mairearad, and remain as fresh and delightful as ever. The Poozie recipe is a fragrant casserole of inventive interpretations, creative collaborations and melodic mastery, saturated by the spice of open-mindedness with which they happily explore the musical universe. In this inspirational band of women, the passion of Sally Barker’s vivid voice is reinforced by the percussive power of her rock solid guitar; irresistible energy bursts from Eilidh Shaw’s faultless fiddle; the perfect precision of Patsy Seddon’s shimmering harp intertwines with the magical melodies of Mairearad Green’s delicately dextrous accordion, all grounded by the growling groove of Mary Macmaster’s capacious Camac electro harp and rounded off by the blending of five different yet sympathetic voices in heart-wrenching harmony http://www.poozies.co.uk/
