Originally
formed in the 70's and proving that traditional music is not dead, Ninepenny
Marl have been encouraged to throw caution and Arran sweaters to the wind.
The foursome has emerged from their solo careers to reincarnate the solid
sound of vocal harmony through some well-loved songs and some more unusual
arrangements. The four-part group, working mainly in unaccompanied traditional
harmony, concentrates on songs of the British Isles and sometimes from
further afield. The ensemble consists of Dave Roberts, fine singer and
member of Romany Pie, Gareth and Barbara Wyatt, longstanding traditional
singers and collectors of folklore, and Linda Dickson, traditional singer
of more than thirty years and former member of "Out of Hand".
The name "Ninepenny Marl" is the Warwickshire equivalent of
the name for the game of Nine Man's Morris, played by shepherds using
stones. |
