THE brilliantly talented all-woman folk band The Poozies makes a return visit to The Plough, Torrington, next week.

The Poozies are a long-established band who produce folk music from the English and Scottish traditions. They perform a mixture of traditional material and their own contemporary songs written by Sally Barker.

The Poozies began their career in 1990, after Patsy Seddon and Mary MacMaster — also known at the time as Scottish harp duo Sileas — had worked with singer Sally Barker on her second solo album.

The Poozies have undergone line-up changes from time to time, but in 2009 their world turned full circle when original member Sally Barker rejoined the band.

Seventeen years down the line, The Poozies seem to have found the secret of eternal youth.

Still with the three original members, they have been energised by the perfectly compatible addition of Eilidh Shaw and Mairearad Green, and remain as fresh and delightful as ever.

The success of The Poozies is evidenced by the their continued popularity with audiences. They play to packed house wherever they go and are constantly in demand at festivals throughout the summer months.

See The Poozies at The Plough on Wednesday, May 18.
